Some of you may have heard yesterday about the All Star Batman and Robin recall, due to, well, an "unknown" reason. This according to the release sent to all shops:
***** SHIPPING ADVISORY: DC COMICS' ALL STAR BATMAN & ROBIN THE BOY WONDER #10Dear Diamond Customer:
Please be advised that copies of DC Comics' ALL-STAR BATMAN & ROBIN THE BOY WONDER #10 (FEB080203-4D) may be included in your September 10 shipment.
At DC's request, please do not place this book out for sale to your customers. Instead, please destroy any copies that you receive. You will be credited for these copies on your September 17 invoice.
Diamond apologizes for any inconvenience this creates for you or your customers. If you have additional questions, please contact your Diamond Customer Service Representative. Thank you.
While many people were wondering what exactly prompted DC to recall the copies, many stores, including my own, already knew the reason. Bad redacting. Or rather, ineffectual redacting, as most of the pages with the "sanitized" words still had them easily visible. Fortunately, CBR's Lying in the Gutters has some scans of a couple of pages for all you curious types (and for me, 'cause I was too lazy to scan them myself). Obviously, be wary. What lies beyond the link is not work safe.
