Trade
Paperback of the Week™!
Time for a break from the straight Superman TPBs. This week, DC
ships a 15 year old story in TPB form. Shortly following the Crisis
in the mid 80s, Wolfman and Perez put out a follow up narrative
which looks at a “history” of the DC universe. This will
not only give you insight into Superman, but also many of the other
DC heroes, and not just the big hitters. Be warned, changes to mythos
have happened since this story was written, but if you want a brief
overview of the whole DCU, this would be where to start.
THE
HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE
Written by Marv Wolfman; art by George Perez and Karl Kesel;
painted cover by Alex Ross
This unusual project, which spun out of the universe-changing events
of CRISIS
ON INFINITE EARTHS, returns in a new trade paperback edition
— featuring an all-new painted wraparound cover by Alex Ross!
Narrated by Harbinger (a central figure from CRISIS), HISTORY brings
readers back through time and space to the dawn of creation, and
continues on to the end of recorded history — as Harbinger
reveals "the History of Heroism." Featuring an appearance
by virtually every character in the DC Universe of
that time!
