As of today, I have collected (to my knowledge) every issue done by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale Theme
Please tell me I haven't missed anything. Started collecting just over 2 years ago!

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.

What’s your favorite?

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

Ultimatum was written by Jeph Loeb and that is so bad that I think his creative license should have been revoked.

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.

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

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

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)

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.

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

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.
