September 26, 2000: DC Announces the Full Creative Roster for "Superman & Batman: World's Funnest"
At the time of solicitation, DC announced only a partial roster of the wide array of artists contributing to the SUPERMAN & BATMAN: WORLD'S FUNNEST Prestige format one-shot written by Evan Dorkin (SUPERMAN ADVENTURES, Milk & Cheese, Space Ghost: Coast-to-Coast). Taking cues from classic Silver Age WORLD'S FINEST Superman and Batman stories, our heroes' superheroic activities are interrupted by their pesky mystical opponents: Mr. Mxyzptlk and Bat-Mite. But the comedy turns very, very dark as the imps accidentally kill our heroes in an Elseworlds saga that takes them on a destructive rampage through nearly every universe and style DC has ever published.Featuring colors by Chris Chuckry and lettering by Tom Orzechowski, WORLD'S FUNNEST showcases an astonishing lineup of artists who bring their distinctive interpretations of the imps to life, even while putting whole universes to death. Alex Ross paints the realistically-rendered world of KINGDOM COME (for what he has claimed will be the final time) while Frank Miller says knighty-knight to the world of THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS. Dave Gibbons shreds the Silver Age of Comics! The merciless moppets show the CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS what destroying universes is really all about in a sequence illustrated by Phil Jimenez, while the "Fourth World" becomes a lost world courtesy of David Mazzucchelli! And that's just the beginning!
DC is now proud to unveil the complete list of all-star contributors to this implosion of comic-book chaos: Mike Allred
