We've been happy to run A Comic Shop's adverts, approved and 75% paid for by the DC Comics co-op advertising programme  – that go a little further then most ads of their type Especially those mostly paid for by Warner Brothers.

Publisher Dan Buckley credits DC Comics with generating interest and buzz in and about comics, that Marvel benefited from[...]

Si Spurrier’s instructions: We’re going to do something a bit different here. Rather than taking an idea or golden-age character and reinventing them as a
