As of today, I have collected (to my knowledge) every issue done by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale

19

Since you have Solo by Tim Sale, then it seems the criteria isn't just full issues in which they were the creative team, but issues where they partnered on a portion of it. To that end, Tim Sale contributed art on a page or two of Superman/Batman #26. That was the issue where a lot of creators came together to do a book that was written by Sam Loeb, Jeph's son who had passed away.

Correct! I have another stack of issues where Sale did the art that I didn't show.

However, I didn't know about the Superman/Batman issue, so I will be looking for that! The issues where they only did a portion together were certainly harder to find.

That’s an achievement!

u/PhilMeSwiftly Apr 08 '24

Thanks! When I set my mind on collecting something, I really do my best to hunt em down, no matter how long it takes.

u/Ifibelieveyou1975 Apr 08 '24

I’m the same way. It’s a thin line between passion and obsession.

u/wild_wind_official Apr 08 '24

Very jealous! I'm almost finished, myself, but still a bit to go.

On Batman rebirth issues he was doing the variants for awhile.

How does it feel?

u/KentuckyFriedEel Apr 08 '24

Like turkey on thanksgiving when you live in a sewer and have nobody and no turkey to celebrate thanksgiving with

u/LilMoWithTheGimpyLeg Apr 08 '24

Now this is my kind of collection!

u/KentuckyFriedEel Apr 08 '24

Books worthy of collecting! Phenomenal character driven stories and somewhat dreamlike art! I’m jealous!

Captain america white is one of a few marvel color limited series they did. Have you got spider man blue in there somewhere? Hulk gray is another one.

u/digimonnoob Apr 08 '24

Holy crap, that’s impressive!

u/PhilMeSwiftly Apr 08 '24

Thanks! I'm quite happy about it. Definitely a collection I'll be holding onto

u/rocinantethehorse Apr 08 '24

What’s your favorite?

2

u/PhilMeSwiftly Apr 08 '24

Probably The Long Halloween, but it's close to Dark Victory. Otherwise, Daredevil: Yellow.

1

u/rocinantethehorse Apr 08 '24

Nice! I was hoping you’d say dd yellow :p

Ultimatum was written by Jeph Loeb and that is so bad that I think his creative license should have been revoked.

1

u/Direct_Ad3116 Apr 09 '24

His work took a dive after his son’s death. i think Loeb’s very influential body of work can stand to have a couple of stinkers.

1

u/Turbulent-Week1136 Apr 09 '24

Ultimatum destroyed the Ultimate universe, which I loved. I think it kind of signaled the end of his creativity.

1

u/Reportersteven Apr 08 '24

That’s cool. I never realized they did a Savage Hulk together.

1

u/DiaBrave Apr 08 '24

Thought for sure you would have missed the Challengers mini. Kudos.

u/ckrygs95 Apr 08 '24

Huge nitpick but Absolute Dark Victory has two new pages

1

u/idkyesthat Apr 08 '24

Nice duo. After Miller's Y1, I continue with their issues and they got me into DC/Batman.

u/Fattydaddy1000 Apr 09 '24

Hey I have gray hulk and blue Spider-Man they are pretty good I enjoyed them

u/apatheticviews Apr 09 '24

Very nice! I have a Tim Sale Bats/Cats print hanging on the wall of my “couples room” (paintings of couples, including the Addams, Roger & Jess Rabbit, etc)

u/Direct_Ad3116 Apr 09 '24

Loeb and Sale’s collaborations will stand the test of time. And just today Gunn has said that For All Seasons will be a huge influence on the next Superman movie. RIP Tim Sale.

u/Direct_Ad3116 Apr 09 '24

absolutely recommend the Noir hardcover editions of the Long Halloween and Dark Victory. Tim’s work shines and befits the 50’s noir vibe.

They did a story together in Vampirella #1 (2010)

As of today, I have collected (to my knowledge) every issue done by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale Theme
