History in the Making…
THE HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE TRADE PAPERBACK
In the wake of the universe-shattering events of CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS, the main creators of that company-changing event - writer Marv Wolfman and penciller George Pérez - were called upon to restructure and reorder the history of the DC Universe. Joined by inker Karl Kesel, they had the unbelievable task of unifying the decades-long accumulation of historical facts from multiple Earths into a cohesive whole for a new history of the single-universe DCU.
Now that project, THE HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE, returns in a new 104-page trade paperback edition - featuring an all-new painted wraparound cover by Alex Ross (KINGDOM COME)! Narrated by Harbinger (a central figure from CRISIS), THE HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE brings readers back through time and space to the dawn of creation, and continues to the end of recorded history - as Harbinger reveals "the history of heroism." Featuring an appearance by virtually every character in the DC Universe at that time (circa 1986), this unusual project (featuring a combination of beautiful art with prose) laid the foundation for all to come from the new DCU.
The CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS trade paperback - already in its second printing - has been an unanticipated sales phenomenon. And now THE HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE - with its first new printing in 13 years - is sure to capitalize on that success, at it makes the perfect sequel and bookshelf companion piece to CRISIS.
This project is supported with house ads.
THE HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE is a 104-page trade paperback arriving in comic-book stores February 20 with a cover price of $9.95 U.S.
