WORLDS OF WESTFIELD vol 23, #8
|
Westfield Comics's latest comic book catalogue features AVENGERS/JLA #1 on their front cover. It is similiar to WORLDS OF WESTFIELD vol 23, #2, which feature SOLUS #1 on the cover. It is not essential to your collection, but if you're a hardcore Pérez collector, this is a must-have in your collection.
The cover price is $4.25, but I'm sure you can get it for free if you buy something from them.
Please see bottom for further information on how to contact them. If they ask for a referral, just tell them Vu sent you.

ABOUT OUR COVER - JLA/Avengers, the colossal crossover by Kurt Busiek (Astro City, Avengers) and George Pérez (Avengers, Wonder Woman), was decades in the making, and is sure to be an event remembered in comics for years to come. Boasting an appearance by every JLA and Avengers member, this limited series is gonna be big.

Before I begin, I need to make a special thank you to Mary Carter, from Westfield's Customer Service. I had first asked about their "Worlds of Westfield" (or WOW for short) because of its use of SOLUS #1 as the cover and she was kind enough to send me a reference copy. For all hardcore Pérez (or Solus fans), this is definitely something you should want in your collection.
PREVIEWS also feature Pérez on their PREVIEWS CONSUMER ORDER FORM (Jan 03), so this WOW catalogue makes a nice companion.
With the cover price of $4.25, I am assuming that they make this catalogue available for free to their subscribers, because I would imagine people would rather just order Diamond's PREVIEWS for a lower price ($3.25 and with lots color pages).
The WOW magazine runs about 34 black and white pages and cram in tiny images to corresponding text. Fortunately their online catalogue (located on their website: www.westfieldcompany.com ) offers really good scans of future products. I think for this reason, that most people only uses their online catalogue for orders.
With original interviews and employee's suggestions/picks (which are usually geared towards independent publishers), and with both their online and paper catalogue (if it's free) is a much better alternative than what Diamond charges for their catalogue.
Westfield have been around for 23 years and, if you can remember, they released that exclusive (and hard to find) AVENGERS FOREVER #1 (WESTFIELD COMICS) alternate cover. They also featured a George Pérez interview on their April 2000 (for June products) issue of WORLDS OF WESTFIELD vol 20 #4.
Feel free to contact Westfield - they are more than happy to be an assistance if you have any questions or comments.
