Also on tap for July, a SHOWCASE volume for Batgirl (including her two great cross-overs with Superman, both drawn by Curt Swan and, I believe, written by Elliot Maggin.)  Love that Babs!   

The Jimmy Olsen book sounds really fun.  While the Showcases would've eventually got around to his transformations, these are tales that really deserve color.

Wonder Woman gets the Encyclopedia treatment next, so Superman's still a few months off.  I hope they find a way to extend the line after that.  I think I heard Fleischer did most of the necessary work on a combined Flash/GL volume before the series went off the rails.

Oh, and check out that Superman Chronicles listing.  You know there's no way you're going to miss a book with writing by Joe Shuster and art by Jerry Seigel!
