Why Does Superman Leave His Own Comics So Often?
In an upcoming DC Comics story, Superman will once be missing. But this is far from the first time the Man of Steel has disappeared from his own books.
DC Comics was founded in 1935, originally named National Comics Publications. Since then, it’s become the home to storied superheroes like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and many more. From the heroes of the Justice League to iconic villains like The Joker, Lex Luthor, and others, you can find them all inside the pages of DC books.
On Comic Book Club’s DC Comics page, you can find weekly reviews of DC’s books. In addition, the podcast frequently interviews DC’s writers, artists, and editors. You can also listen to Sons of Gunn, Comic Book Club’s weekly podcast about all things DCU TV and Film.
