From the back cover: With the introduction of The Batman in Detective Comics #27 in 1939, DC Comics continued a super hero revolution that would forever change popular culture. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and many other DC super heroes are a part of Americana and have become mainstream media superstars. But it all started with the comics, represented here by some of the great vintage covers from DC's past. From the 1930s to the 1960s, the stories contained in these issues helped form a sensational universe of adventure, action and fun. Commentary by Bill Jourdain
