That’s a Jerry Ordway cover. Fantastic work by an underrated artist.

Great choice. One of the issues I really hoped would turn up when you announced this whole countdown thing.

Interesting…I certainly don’t remember the Judas Contract and the Terror of Trigon coming out at the exact same time, but I guess they must have. Anyhow, I mentioned the year’s worth (actually looks like a year and a half or so) of fill-ins, which everything post-Contract (including the wedding) was.

#41 is more memorable for being part one of Judas Contract (or the debut of That Nightwing Costume, for that matter) than the name change, since I (the ultimate representive fan, of course) didn’t remember the name-change as being until considerably later. But if you’re representing the Terra storyline, the actual face-heel turn in #34 is the more memorable issue…

Tales of the New Teen Titans wasn’t reprints for the first year or so. The first few issues were part of perhaps the most famous storyline in the Titans series.

DC Comics Presents #41 was the first of that series to ‘team’ Superman with a villain, the Joker. It also, like the issue of that book that has made the list so far, contained a preview back-up, for the ‘new’ Wonder Woman (Roy Thomas run.)

(If a title change siginfying the switch to a year’s worth of fill-in stories to be followed with turning a book into a year-delayed reprint of another book is ‘significant’ enough to make the also mentioned list, then what isn’t, exactly…)

Ooo, good call. This was a great one. Nice Superman #1 homage cover, too.

The entire Alan Moore run on Supreme was available for free at wowio.com for a while, but I’m not sure if it’s still there.
