IIRC it was a Animated Batman comic short story for which JB got an award for.

*******

A nomination, anyway. The effect was rather like "Hey, JB! We love your stuff as long as you don't write it, and you draw in somebody else's style!"

Well.  I believe that JB is writing under a pen name.  But, I will resist putting any more info supporting my previous choice or anyother hunches I have on the board, and let it go.  Someday (hopefully) we may all learn the truth.

(JB, you can trust me if you want to email the truth....really.  Cross my heart and all.)

pppps.  (just in case)  To the real AJ Lieberman:  I apologize profusely for the above post.  I really enjoyed your work on GK and am looking forward to reading the rest of your stories.  (that should do it)

 

Don't forget former presidential hopeful Senator Joe Lieberman is from CT.

He could probably pull off a Bruce Timm- type, animated looking style
and no one would be the wiser.<!-- Message ''"" -->

I actually tried to find out if his name was A. Joe Lieberman, but I couldnt find a middle initial.

Thanks, Frank. The only thing I could really tell was JB was Stan in the first panel. I am now going to get BA:DD&D TPB.

JB - to slightly divert the topic here, have there been previous books that you have ghostwritten or used a pen name under that you could share with us?

This is a hoot! I admit I'm out of my depth here: my
acquaintance with DC writers is next to zero. But
since ignorance does seem to be a pass to
admission in this discussion, I'd like to add this:

JB is about as cunning a writer working in the field
today and he keeps many arrows in the quiver.
Looking for obvious devices like the narrative overlap
preceding a page transition seems to me to be the
first track he would cover up. I think that's a red
herring.

Speaking of red herrings, every time someone writes
"A. J. Leiberman" I see "Leiber", Stan Lee's real
name. I wonder if there's anything to that?

Lastly according to my trusty internet language
translator "leiber" translates to "bodies" from
German. " A. J. Bodies Man". There, clear as mud,
right?
