Excerpted from John Trumbull's interview with Spencer Beck in BACK ISSUE #122 (Oct 2020):

JOHN TRUMBULL: What's been the biggest adventure in your years of representing [George Pérez]?

SPENCER BECK: That's a tough one. There's been a lot of them. That's not an easy question. There's too many. There's one writer, I can't say the name, that George always wanted to work with in the last decade or two--and he never got the opportunity to work with. When this writer saw George's retirement announcement, he wrote this glowing article about how much he idolized George and regretted how he never had the opportunity to work with him.

TRUMBULL: So it was mutual.

BECK: Yes. I called George and said, "Creator X loves you and wants to work with you. I know you've said you would kill to work with Creator X." And through a mutual best friend of this creator I called him and can't use the words the guy said--but there were some expletives involved! "'Expletive' yes, I would kill for the opportunity [to work with him]. How about this? I'll write a story for him, and the deadline is whenever it's done."

TRUMBULL: So it's going to happen?

BECK: It's going to happen. It might be five years, it might be two years. He said, "Let him do one page every three months. I don't care. I just want the opportunity to put on my resume that I wrote one of the final stories for George Pérez."

TRUMBULL: That really says something.

Back Issue #112 (August 2020)'s cover is from a previously unpublished New Teen Titans cover. According to the owner of the piece, he thinks it was meant for NTT #10. They changed the storyline, so this cover went unused.  Back Issue #112 will be available from TwoMorrows

Here’s my special cover celebrating 40th anniversary of the New Teen Titans for Eisner Award winning BACK ISSUE magazine. This was so much fun to do and I’m really pleased with how it turned out. Very thrilled Marv Wolfman gave it an enthusiastic thumbs up.
