History of the DC Universe #1 – 2 (1986)
The History of the DC Universe, tells the story of the newly merged Earths, after the events of ‘Crisis on Infinite Earths’ maxi-series. In an effort to organize the status quo of the DC Universe after the Crisis, Marv Wolfman and George Perez collaborated on a two part prestige format history of the DCU. Full of detailed illustrations, these two volumes chronicled every major event from the dawn of time through the far flung future worlds of the Legion of Super Heroes and the Flash’s rogue Abra Kadabra. With appearances by nearly every major DC hero, the title put to rest most questions about how the timeline of various Earths destroyed during Crisis now blended into one.

Gothic in Comics and Graphic Novels
This book explores the connections between comics and Gothic from four different angles: historical, formal, cultural and textual. It identifies structures, styles and themes drawn from literary gothic traditions and discusses their presence in British and American comics today, with particular attention to the DC Vertigo imprint. Part One offers an historical approach to British and American comics and Gothic, summarizing the development of both their creative content and critical models, and discussing censorship, allusion and self-awareness. Part Two brings together some of the gothic narrative strategies of comics and reinterprets critical approaches to the comics medium, arguing for an holistic model based around the symbols of the crypt, the spectre and the archive. Part Three then combines cultural and textual analysis, discussing the communities that have built up around comics and gothic artifacts and concluding with case studies of two of the most famous gothic archetypes in comics: the vampire and the zombie.

Comics Versus Art
On the surface, the relationship between comics and the ‘high’ arts once seemed simple; comic books and strips could be mined for inspiration, but were not themselves considered legitimate art objects. Though this traditional distinction has begun to erode, the worlds of comics and art continue to occupy vastly different social spaces. Comics Versus Art examines the relationship between comics and the most important institutions of the art world, including museums, auction houses, and the art press. Bart Beaty's analysis centres around two questions: why were comics excluded from the history of art for most of the twentieth century, and what does it mean that comics production is now more closely aligned with the art world? Approaching this relationship for the first time through the lens of the sociology of culture, Beaty advances a completely novel approach to the comics form.
