This section is not as extensive as my annotations for The Long Halloween, but it does provide cover scans and issue summaries for all of Jeph and Tim's other major collaborations. (And in the case of the recent Marvel stuff, there are attached analyses/reviews of each issue by DC message boarder obiwanjm, also known as Jared Michalski.)

Do NOT click on the pictures if you haven't read the series already. There's some major spoilers involved here. And reading my brief summaries is no substitute for reading the brilliant stories themselves anyway. This is just a guide, not a reading replacement.
Challengers of the Unknown
This eight-issue miniseries was the first work Jeph had done in comics. He chose Tim Sale as his artist, marking his first work for a major comics publisher. And thus a brilliant collaborative team was born.
Apart from Jeph and Tim, the creative team includes Bob Pinaha on letters, Lovern Kindzierski on colors, and both Barbara (Randall) Kesel, Elliot S! Maggin and Katie Main editing. The covers were done by a slew of folks, whose names are listed with each issue of the summaries.
Summaries coming soon!
Haunted Knight
In the years following the Challs mini, Jeph and Tim did three separate Halloween specials for Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight editor Archie Goodwin: Choices, Madness and Ghosts. The specials were all eventually published together in a trade paperback called Haunted Knight.
The popularity of these three specials led Archie Goodwin to greenlight The Long Halloween.
Additional creators include: on Choices, Todd Klein did letters, Greg Wright did colors, and Archie Goodwin and Bill Kaplan edited; and on Madness and Ghosts, Todd Klein was the letterer, Gregory Wright the colorist, Android Images did color separations and Archie again was editor.
Superman: For All Seasons
After The Long Halloween and before Dark Victory, Jeph and Tim applied a different, lighter style to DC's other big name character, Superman, in this four-issue miniseries.
Of course, the eventual outcome of this mini's popularity was that it led to Jeph becoming the regular Superman writer for a little more than two years.
Supporting players include Bjarne Hansen doing some gorgeous coloring, Richard Starkings doing some fabulous lettering, and Joey Cavalieri doing some great editing.
Synopses coming soon!
Daredevil: Yellow
Jeph and Tim were doing so well with their DC work that Marvel swooped in and stole them! This time Jeph and Tim turned their attention to a staple Marvel hero's early years, choosing Daredevil as the central focus of the story they wanted to tell in this six-issue miniseries.
Here the supporting players are Richard Starkings and Comicraft's Wes Abbott designing and lettering, Matt Hollingsworth coloring (amazingly!), and both Bronwyn Taggart and Stuart Moore editing.
Spiderman: Blue
Daredevil: Yellow was a hit so, to tie into the new Spiderman movie, Jeph and Tim were tapped for a repeat performance, this time doing a six-part mini on the early years of everybody's favorite neighborhood wallcrawler, Spiderman!
The creative team features Richard Starkings and Comicraft's Wes Abbott doing the lettering, Steve Buccellato doing the colors, Comicraft's John Roshell doing designs, and Bronwyn Taggert doing the editing.
This miniseries is still in production, so cover scans, issue summaries, and analyses will be added as issues are released.
