DC Comics Offers Crisis Trade Paperback!

Fans and collectors will be granted a longstanding wish this holiday season, when Crisis on Infinite Earths – the monumental 12-issue maxi-series that dramatically redefined the DC Universe – is collected in a trade paperback edition!

Early-solicited in the September Previews for arrival in comics shops on Dec. 6, the Crisis on Infinite Earths TP (SEP000497D1, $29.95) offers an affordable chance to read the epic, company-wide crossover that truly delivered what it promised: lasting change – as seen in the deaths of some of DC’s most beloved characters, such as the original Supergirl and Silver Age Flash Barry Allen.

Written by Marv Wolfman with pencils by George Perez and inks by Dick Giordano, Mike DeCarlo, and Jerry Ordway, Crisis finds the multiple worlds that once were a hallmark of the DC Universe – Earths 1, 2, 3, 4, S, X, and more – being rapidly destroyed by a mysterious force. A strange being called the Monitor has gathered heroes from many worlds to battle the force, which is controlled by the evil Anti-Monitor. Even the deaths of many heroes are not enough to stop the universe-shaking transformation that results – a change that made the DC Universe more accessible than ever before.

Also offered in the September Previews for Dec. 6 arrival is a new printing of the Crisis on Infinite Earths Poster (SEP000566X1, $24.95) – reproducing the stunning wraparound artwork from the cover of the Crisis TP, painted by Alex Ross over pencils by Perez. The 65-by-28-inch poster also comes with a key that identifies all 562 characters!
