''Cla$$war'' is a six-issue comic book limited series published by Com.x between 2002 and 2004. It was written by Rob Williams with art by Trevor Hairsine and Travel Foreman. Williams has summed up the story as "a political thriller with superheroes," dealing with a government supersoldier programme and how the leading superhero, The American, deals with the revelation of the truth.〔(Cla$$war Returns With a New Artist ), Newsarama, June 23, 2003〕 ==Publication history== The series, written by Rob Williams with art by Trevor Hairsine, was due to be launched in November 2001, but had to be delayed because of the 9/11 attacks.〔(Cla$$war from Com.x ) (cached), Newsarama, Comicon.com, September 21, 2001〕 The first three issues were finally published between January and July 2002〔(Cla$$ Act ), Sequential Tart, January 2002〕 and were collected into a trade paperback in 2003.〔(Com.x Announces Cla$$war Trade, N-jin ), Newsarama, April 30, 2003〕 When the publisher came back from a hiatus caused by problems including a serious burglary,〔(Com.X Office Burglarized; Currently Assessing Extent of Damages And Losses ), Comics Bulletin, September 2002〕〔( Com.x's Act Together, Titles To Return in March ), Newsarama, December 4, 2003〕 Hairsine had already moved on to Marvel〔(Trevor Hairsine's Captain America With Cla$$ ), Comicon.com, December 18, 2002〕 and, while Cary Nord was initially pencilled in as his replacement,〔(Future Cla$$ ), Comics Bulletin, September 20, 2002〕 a job that finally went to Travel Foreman〔〔(Cla$$ Is Back In Session ) (press release), Comics Bulletin, June 25, 2003〕 and the last three issue were published between March and June 2004.〔(Cla$$war's Rob Williams Entertains You ), Comics Bulletin, December 11, 2003〕〔(The Ongoing War - A Preview & Update on Cla$$war ), Newsarama, March 25, 2004〕 Len O'Grady〔(Len O'Grady.com )〕 provided all the colouring to "maintain colour continuity".〔(Cla$$war Update ) (press release), Comicon.com, June 20, 2003〕 When the publisher returned fully to publishing the series was collected into a hardcover edition.〔(Cla$$war & the Resurrection of Com.X ), Comic Book Resources, March 12, 2009〕 Although people make the link with ''The Authority'', Williams has said he had not read the series before starting to write ''Cla$$war'' and he went on to explain the actual inspiration: The series was always planned to run for twelve issues, and Williams has expressed an interest in writing the next six-issue story arc but he is concerned that "with the production quality and level of artist that the series has had in its different incarnations - it's really tough to sustain that over another six issues unless you're selling large numbers, and for an indie company like com.x that's tough to achieve."〔(Finally Collected: Rob Williams Talks Cla$$war ), Newsarama, April 2, 2009〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cla$$war」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
