A Brief History of Comics

DC Comics is one of the largest American companies in comic book and related media publishing. A subsidiary of Time Warner, DC is responsible for such famous characters as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Aquaman and their teammates in the Justice League. For decades, DC Comics has been one of the two largest American comic book companies, along with Marvel Comics. The initials "DC" were originally an abbreviation for Detective Comics, and later the official name.

Early comic book pioneers include Joe Shuster, Jerry Siegel, Bob Kane, Bill Finger, Julius Schwartz, Gardner Fox, and Jack Kirby.

Recent DC projects in other media include the movies Batman Begins, Superman Returns, The Dark Knight, and the upcoming Human Target series on Fox this Fall.
