The Crown Jewel of Comics
The DC universe as never seen before

In 1935, DC Comics founder Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson published New Fun No. 1–the first comic book with all-new, original material–at a time when comic books were mere repositories for the castoffs of the newspaper strips. What used to be first of all thought to be to be disposable media for children used to be well on its approach to becoming the mythology of our time–the 20th century’s answer to Atlas or Zorro.

More than 40,000 comic books later, TASCHEN has produced the single most comprehensive book on DC Comics. More than 2,000 images–covers and interiors, original illustrations, photographs, film stills, and collectibles–are reproduced the use of the recent technology to bring the story lines, the characters, and their creators to vibrant life as they’ve never been seen before. Telling the tales at the back of the tomes is 38-year DC veteran Paul Levitz, whose in-depth essays trace the company’s history, from its pulp origins through to the way forward for digital publishing, alongside year-by-year timelines and biographies of DC legends.

The original XL edition of 75 Years of DC Comics used to be winner of the 2011 Eisner Comic Industry Award for Absolute best Comics-Related Book of the Year. This new edition brings you the entire same DC glory in a more compact format.
