Description

In honor of DC Comics’ 75th anniversary, TASCHEN has produced the single most comprehensive book on the publisher. Written by 38-year DC veteran Paul Levitz, this XL volume traces the company’s history from its pulp origins to the future of digital publishing. It features over 2,000 images—including covers, interiors, original illustrations, and rare collectibles—reproduced with the latest technology. From Superman and Batman to The Sandman and Watchmen, the book explores how these “disposable” media for children became the modern mythology of our time. It includes massive fold-out timelines and an extensive appendix of biographies for the writers, artists, and editors who defined the DC Universe.
