Details: On December 15, 1978, the dreams of generations of American children finally came true: Superman, hero of thousands of comics since the 1930s, made it to the big screen in a feature film. The movie became a blockbuster, once again highlighting the high status of comic books in the States and showing who deserves the place of honor in the pantheon of American myths and gods: the superheroes. But this art form was already moving in a new direction: influenced by underground comix and a spirit of political awakening, DC Comics increasingly targeted adults and was sold more in comic shops than at newsstands. Socially relevant topics like drug addiction, racism, and women's rights had entered the mainstream and found their way into comics. TASCHEN's series on DC Comics explores—era by era—the origins of the longest-running legends in comics and looks behind the scenes to introduce the men and women who created them. It is based on the Eisner Award-winning XL book 75 Years of DC Comics. The three volumes in a reader-friendly format contain updated essays by Paul Levitz and over 1000 new images. Countless cover and interior pages, original drawings, photos, film stills, and collectibles are faithfully reproduced using the latest reproduction techniques to bring the stories, characters, and their creators to life with renewed freshness in an essential reference work for comic fans.
