The solicitation will be presented on the Diamond website on Monday, December 17th and in Previews Update #507 in the December 19th issue of Diamond Dateline. Orders may be placed via Diamond customer service reps or DC sales reps beginning Wednesday, December 12, for an on-sale date of January 23rd, 2002.
According to DC, "the greatest writers and artists in comics join with an unprecedented coalition of publishers to create two volumes reflecting on a tragedy that changed the world. Offered separately, but released, marketed and publicized together, each volume consists of dozens of profoundly moving, contemplative stories about the events of September 11 and their aftermath: Volume 1 from Chaos! Comics, Dark Horse Comics, and Image Comics - with assistance from Oni Press, Top Shelf Productions, and others; Volume 2 from DC Comics, including Wildstorm Productions, Vertigo, and MAD Magazine."
100% of the publishers' profits from the sale of these books will be donated to organizations for the relief of the victims of the September 11 tragedy, their families and affected communities (organizations included will be listed in each volume). All contributing writers and artists have donated their services along with Diamond Comic Distributors, Quebecor Printing, and others.
"Each volume contains must-have items for any comics reader and contributions sure to attract the attention of mainstream browsers, including stories by the legendary Will Eisner in both books," continued DC. "Volume 1 contains Frank Miller's reflections on the power of faith; Jim Mahfood's personal view of the Arab-American experience before and after September 11, 2001; a story by Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie; and Bryan Talbot's reflection on the meaning of entertainment in the days after the attacks. Volume 2 features the first story added to the Sandman opus in two years with a Death and Destruction story by Neil Gaiman and Chris Bachalo; a new Krypto story by Jeph Loeb, Carlos Pacheco and Jesús Mariño; a story of London during the Blitz by noted science-fiction/fantasy author Michael Moorcock and artists Walter Simonson and Bob Wiacek; plus the reunion of Stan Lee and Marie Severin."
