DC Cómics: Crónica Visual Definitiva

Synopsis of DC Cómics: Crónica Visual Definitiva

Embark on a formidable adventure through more than 75 years of DC Comics history! For 75 years, DC Comics has been at the forefront of graphic art. For many, the first appearance of Superman in the legendary Action Comics #1 of June 1938 meant the birth of superheroes. DC Comics year by year: A visual chronicle guides you from the beginning, even before Superman and Batman existed, to the present day, when DC comics top the sales charts and their heroes and villains are among the iconic characters of all time. This book is not a simple summary of the history of the largest and longest-lived comic book publisher in the United States: it is a month-by-month chronicle, showing the great (and small) publications and events of the 75 years of life of DC Comics. It goes through the events of the Golden Age of comics (1938-1955), the Silver Age (1956-1969) and the Bronze Age (1970-1979) and delves into the Modern Age (1980-present). It is a round trip from Earth-2 to Earth-1 and to the Antimatter Universe that provides a comprehensive record of the people and circumstances that have shaped the DC Universe. DC Comics year by year also includes the titles of other firms that, over time, were integrated into the DC family: from All Star Comics, from the 1940s, through the first appearance of Captain Marvel in Whiz Comics #2 (February 1940); until reaching the great moments of the WildStorm label, founded in 1999. The articles are illustrated and complemented by a chronology of world events, which allows us to show the 75 years of DC evolution in its historical context. A team made up of authors and comic book historians has dived into stores, their collections, other private ones and the sacred crypts of DC to present DC Comics year by year to an expectant world.
