Wonder Woman and Jack Kirbys Fourth World Well, Ive finally managed to receive a near complete run of JBs JK4W, and I was just wondering if anyone knew why this great series was discontinued?
JB: We’re far enough away from the events now that some behind the scenes stuff can be revealed. Paul Kupperberg was planning on leaving his editorial position at DC (he was in charge of both books I was doing at the time, WONDER WOMAN and JK4W), and since my contract on both was coming to an end I thought it might be better to leave than to re-up for a year and find myself burdened with an editor I did not want to work with. So I wrapped up my stories on both titles, and went elsewhere. Paul’s plans were a secret at the time, so I was not able to give any reasons for my departure other than “end-of-contract”. As it turned out, Paul did not leave editorial for quite a while (eventually he moved upstairs — literally — to Special Projects), so I could have stayed on both titles another year. Ah, well!
