DC 75 - 1939

1939 saw the birth of another enduring superhero, the Batman, created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger in Detective Comics 27.


One of my more favourite characters, Wesley Dodds, The Sandman, created by Gardner Fox and Bert Christman in World's Fair Comics #1

DC 75 - 1938

Action Comics #1, June 1938 where DC really started kicking into its stride

Superman and Zatara both appeared but of course Superman changed the world of US comics




DC 75 - 1935



Doctor Occult, created by Siegel & Shuster and one of the ones that really started it off!

75

DC Comics is 75 this year so I have decided to do 75 DC characters...

I'm going to try and do a character per year (where appropriate) but there appears to be huge chronological gaps so sometimes I will do two per year.

I will also use characters that DC later bought into their company such as Cpatain Marvel.
