About DC |
 |
For some reason or another I never really got into the whole DC world. I don't know
why though because after all they do carry some of the greater names in super heroes. DC Comics
is one of the largest companies in comic book and related media publishing. Today a subsidiary of
Time Warner, DC is responsible for such famous characters as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman,
and their teammates in the Justice League. For decades, DC Comics has been one of the two largest
American comic book companies (the other being Marvel Comics). For many years, its headquarters
were located at 666 Fifth Avenue in New York City, in the 1990s, they moved to 1700 Broadway.
The initials "DC" are an abbreviation for Detective Comics, after one of the company's flagship titles.
While my collection, admittedly, has very very few DC titles, they have produced a couple of short
lived comics which I definately intend on finishing off such as V or Hawk & Dove.

About Impact |
|
Impact Comics was an imprint of DC Comics that was aimed at younger audiences.
It was begun in 1991 and ended by 1993. (The initial "I" in the logo looked like an exclamation point,
but the name of the imprint was not actually !mpact.) Its titles featured the adventures of altered versions
of superheroes licensed from Archie Comics. In an effort to reach out to kids who were not aware of the
direct market system, DC Comics attempted to sell Impact Comics titles through newsstands. However,
due to internal conflicts, that never happened. The imprint eventually collapsed due to poor sales. A final
series The Crucible was initially intended to relaunch the line, but instead served as its finale.
