Expanded Edition

1st printing. By Keith Dallas and John Wells. In 1978, DC Comics launched a bold initiative to win over fans and retailers with an expanded line-up billed as "The DC Explosion." But mere weeks after its launch, DC's parent company pulled the plug, cancelling a slew of titles, and leaving stacks of completed comic book stories unpublished. Now, over 45 years after that "DC Implosion," TwoMorrows Publishing recalls one of the most notorious events in comics. This new Expanded Edition of the sold-out Eisner Award-nominated book explodes in full cover for the first time, with additional coverage of lost 1970s DC projects like Ninja the Invisible and an adaptation of "The Wiz," Jim Starlin's unaltered cover art for Batman Family #21, content meant for cancelled Marvel titles such as Godzilla and Ms. Marvel, and more! Softcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 144 pages. PC. Cover price $26.95.
