SEPTEMBER 11 V. 2 SC - DC Comics - including WildStorm Productions, Vertigo,
and Mad Magazine - presents a collection of stories and stand-alone artwork 
from
the vast community of talented writers and artists associated with it. 
Award-
winning cover artist Alex Ross offers a painting (modeled on the legendary 
Big
All-American Comics #1) that shows Superman and Krypto looking at the heroes
whose sacrifice on September 11 served as an inspiration to so many. 
Includes
the first story added to the Sandman opus in two years with a Death and
Destruction story by Neil Gaiman and Chris Bachalo; a story of London during 
the
Blitz by author Michael Moorcock and artists Walter Simonson and Bob Wiacek;
plus the reunion of Stan Lee and Marie Severin. Some teams familiar to 
comics
readers are reunited in this historic project, such as Dwayne McDuffie, 
Denys
Cowan, and Prentis Rollins, who offer a new story of Static in the wake of 
the
September 11 attacks; and a tale of the spiritual impact of the loss of the 
Twin
Towers from J.M. DeMatteis and Michael Zulli. Will Eisner, Joe Kubert, Sam
Glanzman, and Darwyn Cooke are among the writer/artists who offer 
distinctive
stories. Other well-known creative teams sharing their talents include Brian
Azzarello and Eduardo Risso on a story of terror and baseball fans; Kurt 
Busiek
and Brent Anderson in a story of a firefighter's heroism in the 
super-hero-filled
metropolis of Astro City; and David S. Goyer and Geoff Johns joining 
Humberto
Ramos and Sandra Hope to offer another perspective. Moving photography-
hemed looks at life in New York City are offered in a new I, Paparazzi story 
from
Pat McGreal and artists Stephen John Phillips and Steven Parke; and a Scene 
of
the Crime original from Ed Brubaker and Michael Lark that finds a photo from
September 11 playing an important part in a widow's recovery. Other tales 
pay
tribute to some oft-neglected aspects of the World Trade Center and Pentagon
attacks. The sniffer dogs at work at the World Trade Center site are 
celebrated
in a Krypto story from Jeph Loeb, Carlos Pacheco and Jesús Meriño, while the
team of Rick Veitch and Sergio Aragonés offer their take on a little-noted 
sort
of heroism that has taken place every day since the 11th. The dreams and
idealism of children in the wake of September 11 are well represented in 
stories
by Eddie Berganza and Kyle Baker and a one-page piece by Tim Sale (from an
idea by Chuck Kim). Even DC’s Executive Vice President & Publisher Paul 
Levitz
writes two stories, one illustrated by Joe Staton and Bob Smith, the other 
by
WildStorm’s Jim Lee. Features chapter-break artwork from Glenn Fabry, Dave
McKean, Christopher Moeller, Greg and Tim Hildebrandt, John Bolton, and John
Van Fleet. Dave Johnson, Neal Adams, Dave Gibbons, Phil Jimenez, Lee
