So a few days ago, I reviewed Batman Adventures #16, "The Killing Book", which I thought was jolly good fun, but I didn't really think the satire about the comic book industry was strong enough. Who's the angry editor and his diplomatic sycophant? Who's in the creative team that gets fired from CD Comics' equivalent of this very book? Well issue #20 has the answers! Here's the CD office again:
And now, the decoder ring published in issue 20:
Yep, pretty much the entire contents of the series' credit box! The angry editor is Scott Peterson; his assistant Darren Vincenzo translates for the the peons; writer Kelly Puckett is the Kamandi clone up front with the typewriter (so young, but so old school!); penciller Mike Parobeck is the red head in the back; inker Rick Burchett is holding the comics pages and the slide rule; the guy with the black mustache is letterer Tim Harkins; and that leaves Rick Taylor as the bearded fellow gritting his teeth and carrying a box.
Sad to see those guys go; they had a good flow going... ;-)
