DC Comics is the largest and most diverse English language publisher of comic books in the world. Founded in 1934 as National Allied Publications, the company that would one day become DC Comics virtually created the comic book, publishing the first comic of all original material. Then, in the spring of 1938, the first super hero story appeared in ACTION COMICS #1, introducing SUPERMAN. Other soon-to-be icons would follow, including BATMAN, WONDER WOMAN, GREEN LANTERN, THE FLASH and many others. Today, DC Comics publishes more than 80 titles a month and close to 1000 issues a year. DC has several imprints spanning the gamut of graphic storytelling: The DC Universe is the home of DC’s peerless roster of super heroes; Vertigo caters to a more mature, literary readership; WildStorm offers a bold alternative take on heroic and adventure comics; and Zuda Comics is DC’s innovative digital imprint. DC is also the home of MAD Magazine, the best-known humor magazine in America. DC Comics is a division of Time Warner, the largest entertainment company in the world.

DC Comics started their digital revolution with Zuda Comics, which allowed artists and writers to get recognition in the industry. Winning entries include the awesome High Moon, Bottle of Awesome and Night Owls.

Since closing Zuda, DC have moved on with Comixology to produce their own app available on the iPhone and iPad and an online reading store. As well as this DC comics are also available on the PSP Comics Network.

With a host of titles available from their Zuda, Wildstorm, Vertigo and DCU imprints, DC are able to release a large amount of comics on a regular basis.

DC have also been involved in releasing titles on the same day and date format – in this case the bi-weekly title Justice League: Generation Lost and the new ongoing: Batman Beyond

DC have recently been releasing comics in batches over large story arcs – including Bruce Wayne: Murderer? and the 79 issue strong Blackest Night series.

With the strength of Warner Brothers behind them, and such a large catalogue of titles, hopefully DC will be embracing the digital comics more in the months to come!




 

With the release of the ‘new 52′ – a reboot of sorts for the DCU, DC have now released them day and date digitally with their print collections.
