Description

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DC's parent company pulled the plug, cancelling a slew of titles, and leaving stacks of completed comic book stories unpublished.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 with an exhaustive oral history from Jenette Kahn, Paul Levitz, Len Wein, Mike Gold, Al Milgrom, and other creators and executives involved! Plus: detailed analysis and commentary by other top pros who were just fans in 1978 (Mark Waid, Michael T. Gilbert, Tom Brevoort, and more)examining how it changed the landscape of comics forever! 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
