The 80s were a truly rad time for comic books. DC was killing it with groundbreaking titles like Man of Steel, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, and Watchmen. This collection, curated by writer and former DC publisher Paul Levitz, celebrates the pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths era of the early 1980s with memorable adventures including Alan Moore and Curt Swans poignant Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?, both Batman and Superman teaming with their Golden Age equivalents in separate stories, Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor versus gremlins, and more.
These stories are accompanied by a wealth of never-before-reprinted rarities, including excerpts from DC's first printed style guide by José Luis García-López, the long-unseen Masters of the Universe Preview, and Alan Moore's complete proposal for his unpublished Twilight maxiseries.
Hardcover, 520 pages, full color.
