Back in the early 2000s, “JSA: The Liberty File” and it’s sequel “JSA: The Unholy Three” was published under DC’s Elseworlds banner as an examination of the JSA characters covert government agents in the Second World War. Well, DC has announced that writer B. Clay Moore and artist Tony Harris will be continuing the Liberty Files story in the form of “JSA: The Liberty Files – The Whistling Skull”, a six-part miniseries.
“Tony and I have been working on THE WHISTLING SKULL for a while, now, and it’s been an absolute labor of love,” Moore said. “I think he’s doing the absolute best work of his career here, and there’s no one better to accentuate that than Dave McCaig on color. For readers looking for a new spin on the DC Universe, combined with brand new headlining characters, I think the book will be a treat, and it’s just the first chapter in a much larger story. This initial offering introduces readers to the legacy of the Whistling Skull in a wartime, pulp-infused setting, and should provide something fresh for readers to sink their teeth into.”
Originally, it seems, the series was set to be a creator-owned Wildstorm title called “The Further Adventures Of The Whistling Skull”, but has evolved over time to continue the story of “JSA: The Liberty Files”.
