Summary

For more than 70 years, DC Comics has been entertaining children and adults alike.

The book details all the major DC publishing landmarks and more, displayed clearly, month by month. Highlighting the debuts of Superman and Batman, the geniuses that invented them, and the real-life events-like the Vietnam War, the atom bomb, the Space Race- that shaped the atmosphere of the times, DC Chronicle Year by Yearfollows the characters' foray into the real world through TV series and blockbuster movies.
