Upcoming DC Comics collections: Flash and more Flash! Warlord Showcase! Robin dies!

Not much info on these to date, but here are some upcoming DC Comics titles of possible interest. Click the links to for more info and to pre-order from Amazon.

Kubert Covers War
due out Oct. 13, hardcover, 208 pages
A collection of Joe's covers to DC war comics? Or a collection of his best war tales? Either way, good stuff.

Showcase Presents: Warlord Vol. 1
due out Sept. 8, softcover, 528 pages
A big, black-and-white slab of Mike Grell's cool sword and sorcery stories. I dug these a lot as a youngster.

DC Classics Library: Batman: A Death in the Family

due out Sept. 8, hardcover, 272 pages
The "let's kill Robin" storyline. Much as I like Jim Aparo, who illustrated these stories, I found the whole exercise exploitative. Not good comics, in my opinion. Just a gimmick to sell 'em. (Also, the Robin they killed isn't the "real" Robin. Just a kid in the Robin costume that few readers cared for in the first place. Big whoop.)

Flash Chronicles Vol. 1
due out Sept. 8, softcover, 160 pages
The Silver Age Flash gets the softcover, but in color, Chronicles treatment. Great stuff if you don't own it several times over already.

Flash vs. The Rogues
due out Nov. 10, softcover, 144 pages
More Silver Age Flash reprints, in color.
