In June of 1938,
Action Comicsdebuted with a new kind of comic-book character on its cover: a costumed man with two identities, who possessed extraordinary strength and powers—a man able to protect the public when ordinary measures would not do. He was not the first super hero, but the Man of Steel would become the
prototype for all super heroesthereafter.
Superman’s story, and those of Batman, Wonder Woman, and hundreds of other
DC Comicscharacters, are all told in
The Golden Age of DC Comics.Expanded from the Eisner Award–winning XL book,
75 Years of DC Comics, this edition offers readers
the ultimate insight on DC’s first decades, from its pulp origins up to the comic-book burnings of the McCarthy ’50s.
More than 600 pages of covers and interiors, original illustrations, photographs, film stills, and ephemera bring the
story lines, the characters, and their creators to vibrant life. Also included is
an exclusive interview with legendary artist Joe Kubert.
