With this series of posts I plan to make notes on every entry in 2004-2005 run. The format is not intended to be consistent with any published indices but it will be consistent more or less with any future such indices I do on the other Handbooks. I’m hoping this will provide info on the various entries that you can’t find anywhere else.
The format will be as follows:
Issue number and date
Cover Artist (if the same for multiple issues, only the first instance listed)
Writers (if the same for multiple issues, only the first instance listed)
Entry name (page count in parentheses)
Writer (only if can be determined for the specific entry)
Main Art Credits (and original source of the art; for this category and the next, artists with multiple names are listed as originally credited):
Secondary Art Credits, if applicable (and original source of the art):
Notes (if applicable)
2004-2005 notes:
This begins the modern/21st Century era, which, despite the occasional break, continues to this day.
Starting with this series, it becomes more difficult to determine when one series ends and another starts. As such, modern era handbooks will be indexed by similarities to one another.
Starting here, main illos are not necessarily created for Handbooks.
For most individual characters, unless otherwise noted, the categories are Real Name, Known Aliases, Identity, Occupation, Citizenship, Place of Birth, Marital Status, Known Relatives, Group Affiliation, Education, History, Height, Weight, Eyes, Hair, Distinguishing Features, Strength Level, Superhuman Powers, Special Skills, Special Limitation, Special Weaponry, Other Accessories (latter four if applicable; category names would shift as the series went on, e.g. using Paraphernalia), Power Grid
If only one artist is listed s/he is presumed to be the penciller (inkers not usually listed in credits)
Most entries in these volumes revised/updated for the Premiere Hardcover series, usually substantially.
first series, Deluxe Edition, Update ’89, Master Edition all refer to previous OHOTMU series
