DC to Release Entire Golden, Silver, and Bronze Age Comic Library on DC Universe This Week

Published Mon, 08 Apr 2019 18:00:27 -0500

In what the company is calling a stress test for its DC Universe digital comic reading app, DC Comics announced that they will release their entire digitized catalog of Golden, Silver, and Bronze Age comics this week, comprising a total of almost 3,000 comics.

"In advance of our release of the full digital comics library, we will be testing our system by releasing all currently digitized comic books from the Golden Age, through the Bronze Age. NBD," the company wrote in a message board post announcing the plans. "We currently have a large selection of these titles, and we're gearing up to fill the rest in with every possible digitized comic out there!"

Of course, the 2,739 comics that will soon be available on the service don't represent the entirety of DC's output from the 1930s through the 1970s, but the company notes that the missing books will be added as they're digitized. The company also teased a post in the near future explaining the digital archiving process and the gaps of missing comics. You can sign up for DC Universe, which offers access to dozens of DC live-action and animated TV shows and movies as well, including original content like Titans and Doom Patrol, here.

DC asked that users of the app report any issues with reading the comics so they can streamline the experience when they release their full catalog later this year. Here's the full list of what's coming this week:
