In response to quality control concerns, DC is reprinting the LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES VOL. 10 HC to ensure a volume with quality consistent to all volumes in the Archives series. Customers can return the flawed first printing to retailers through December 31, 2000. This corrected new printing will be solicited in Previews Vol. XI #1.
According to DC's Design Director Georg Brewer: "DC has established a very high standard for itself and the industry for archival reprint collections. We recognize the concerns of our consumers, and are pleased that we will now be able to dramatically improve quality of this edition. DC is committed to providing the best possible reproductions, and the greatest value to our customers on all of our product."
Note that all new printings of the LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES ARCHIVES
VOL. 10 will bear a "FIRST CORRECTED PRINTING" sticker over its shrink-wrap
seal to differentiate them from first printings. This new printing is an
example of DC's commitment to producing collections of the highest quality;
the new edition is to feature crisper art taken from better quality source
material, and all fans of LEGION are sure to be thrilled. DC also is aware
of expressed concerns about the quality of JUSTICE LEAGUE ARCHIVES VOL.
6 HC but has no plans to make it returnable. Added Georg Brewer,
"We have evaluated this edition carefully and determined it meets an acceptable
level of quality. We appreciate the loyal readers of the Archive
Editions bringing these concerns to our attention and vow to continue our
commitment to the high standard we have
set."
