Challengers of the Unknown (second series) #1-8
1991’s eight-issue Challengers
of the Unknown mini-series, while an early collaboration of Loeb and Sale,
nonetheless had merit. It was not,
however, a great success. For
completion’s sake, the two also collaborated about this time on the entry for
the Challengers in Who’s Who (second series) #1; this series of files on
DC Universe characters was in magazine-size loose-leaf format on glossy paper,
with each entry being a single folio (or one page, both front and back).
Batman
·
Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight Halloween Specials
This eighty-page special
was cover-dated December 1993.
This 48-page special was
cover-dated November 1994.
The precise title and
details of this special are unknown to me at present.
These three Halloween
Specials were collected as Batman:
Haunted Knight, the team’s first trade paperback, published to
coincide with the launch of Batman:
The Long Halloween.
For more information, see
The Continuity Pages: Batman > Year One Era.
·
Batman: The Long Halloween #1-13
Following the success of
the Halloween specials, DC offered Loeb and Sale this 13-issue mini-series, the
length being a great rarity at the time.
What’s more, the first and thirteenth issues were prestige format,
48-page episodes, not only adding to the series’s length but mixing the format
of the series, another great rarity.
Taking place during Batman’s first and second years, the story would
revive many of the mafia characters from Frank Miller’s Batman: Year One. The first and last issues would take place on Halloween,
separated by a year; intervening issues would occur on Holidays during that
year’s time, as a killer who killed on holidays struck again and again. The series was published along a similar schedule,
from October 1996 to October 1997. A
trade paperback collection followed about a year later and a hardcover was
published subsequently (a sure sign of success). This is probably Loeb and Sale’s best collaboration: the concluding sequences, in particular, are
absolutely masterful, on par with the best of any medium, not only containing a
surprise ending but devastatingly good narration and imagery.
For more information, see
The Continuity Pages: Batman > Year One Era.
This sequel to Batman: The Long Halloween continued immediately
following that mini-series. It was
preceded by a short story in #0, published as a supplement to Wizard (the
comics-related magazine) #97. Like its
predecessor, #1 and #13 were 48-page prestige format issues. This was the second Loeb-Sale collaboration
to be collected first as a hardcover (following Superman for All Seasons).
For more information, see
The Continuity Pages: Batman > Year One Era.
Loeb and Sale
collaborated on a back-up story in this 1994 annual.
Loeb wrote this issue of
the Cable ongoing series.
Entitled “Family Secrets” and cover-dated September 1995, Tim Sale
illustrated eight pages of Jeph Loeb’s script.
Other artists included Ian Churchill (who also provided the cover art),
Mark Buckingham, and Scott Hanna.
·
Wolverine /
Gambit: Victims #1-4
Cover-dated from
September to December 1995, Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale collaborated on this
mini-series, their second ever and their first for Marvel Comics. The mini-series was collected in a trade
paperback (with the same title) cover-dated February 1997, not long after Batman: Haunted Knight, making it their second
trade paperback.
For more information, see
The Continuity Pages: X-Men.
Cover-dated January 1996,
this anthology featured a Simon Bisley cover and an eleven-page story by Loeb
and Sale entitled “Dinner.”
For more information, see
The Continuity Pages: Hulk.
Comprised of four
prestige format issues, Superman for all Seasons told of Clark Kent’s
last days in Smallville and his first in Metropolis. This was the first Loeb-Sale collaboration to be collected first
as a hardcover. The themes of the
series would be credited as an inspiration for the television series Smallville,
for which Jeph Loeb wrote some scripts.
For more information, see
The Continuity Pages: Superman > Pre-Loeb Era (1997-1999).
Published by Harras
Comics with a September 1999 cover-date, this first issue featured an 8-page
back-up by Loeb and Sale. Sale also
illustrated the issue’s two alternate covers, a premium edition and an
alternate cover offered by Dynamic Forces.
Daredevil: Yellow #1-6
This was the first of the Loeb-Sale team’s high-profile mini-series for Marvel. Though grounded in contemporary continuity (following the death of Karen Page), the story was mostly a flashback taking place during Daredevil’s earliest years, in which he wore a yellow costume. The first issue was cover-dated August 2001 and published in June. The last issue was cover-dated January 2002. This was the third Loeb-Sale collaboration to be collected first as a hardcover (after Superman for All Seasons and Batman: Dark Victory).
For more information, see
The Continuity Pages: Daredevil > Marvel Knights Relaunch
(1998-2001).
The second of the Loeb-Sale team’s high-profile mini-series for Marvel, this one featuring the company’s most popular character, similarly told of Spider-Man’s early days. The first issue was dated July 2002, but the mini-series ran behind by several months and its last two issues were notably delayed; the final, sixth issue was published in March 2002, nearly a year after the mini-series commenced. The mini-series was first collected as a hardcover.
For
more information, see The Continuity
Pages: Spider-Man.
the short story “The Same Things Happens Every Night” in JSA: All-Stars #2
This six-page story
features Hawkman unsuccessfully balancing his super-hero career with his
domestic life, specifically his wife cooking and waiting for her husband’s
return. JSA: All-Stars was an 8-issue mini-series in
which #2-7 each focused on a different character, with a main story set in the
present day and a back-up story featuring guest creators’ visions of the
characters. Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale
provided the first such back-up for the series.
For more information, see
The Continuity Pages: Starman / JSA > JSA Era.
the short story “When Clark Met Bruce” in Superman / Batman Secret
Files 2003
This two-page story
features an orphaned Bruce Wayne traveling through Smallville with Alfred on
the way to the West Coast. A young
Clark Kent plays nearby as Alfred changes the tire, but the two never
meet. Superman / Batman Secret Files
2003 was offered to supplement the then-new series, Superman / Batman,
which was written by Jeph Loeb.
For more information, see
The Continuity Pages: Justice League of America > Various
Writers Era.
Hulk: Gray #1-6
This was the third of the Loeb-Sale team’s high-profile mini-series for Marvel. #1 was published in October 2003.
For more information, see The Continuity Pages: Hulk.
