Paul Levitz may have a ton of stuff keeping him busy on the business side of things as President of DC Comics, but that doesn't mean he never gets the itch to write comics again. In fact, he's about to begin a six issue stint on JSA with superstar artists George Perez, Rags Morales and Luke Ross. We caught up with him for a few quick questions about his return to writing.
JSA #82 (Feb 2006)
THE PULSE: With all your duties at DC as President, what interested you in writing comics again and where did you find the time?
PAUL LEVITZ: I've never stopped being interested in writing comics, and have always tried to find the time to squeeze a small project in here and there, but it's difficult to schedule. I'm not sure how I'm finding the time for this project, but with the kids older, better-batteries for laptops making writing while traveling easier, I'm hoping to make it work.THE PULSE: What are your issues of JSA about? Which members of the team are featured?
PAUL LEVITZ: It's six issues - a one part tale with George Perez tied both to the end of CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS and current events in INFINITE CRISIS and to some of my old JSA work, and then a five-parter with Rag Morales and Luke Ross, which focuses on the Gentleman Ghost. Luke Ross does a flashback story told in intercuts throughout, telling the origins of the Ghost in old England, and Rags Morales does the contemporary story of the JSA and the Ghost. So far I've touched on some old friends (Power Girl, Flash, Green Lantern, Wildcat, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman), some newer additions to the mythos (Jakeem Thunder, Mr Terrific, Dr Mid-Nite) and Ma Hunkle, who is an old character never had the chance to use before, since Geoff came up with such a nice way of bringing her into the stories.
