The company that helped to create and build the genre and archetype of “Superhero” is celebrating 75 years of comics this year.  In 1938, DC Comics released Action Comics #1, which became a turning point in the history of comic books with the introduction of the first superhero, Superman. Soon after the success of Superman, DC Comics introduced another hero in 1939, one that is still popular today, in Detective Comics #27, Batman.

In celebration of 75 years of awesome, DC Comics and Zazzle have joined forces to bring you 5 limited-edition Screen Printed T-shirts! I got to see the t-shirts up close and personal (I’m one of the models), and I can’t tell you how excited I am for these shirts… my geekness is overflowing.

T-Shirts also available to purchase individually

The 5 designs include:

Wonder Woman – Cover Art from Vol. 3 #18 “Return of the Khund”

Superman – Cover Art from Vol. 1 #201 “Clark Kent Abandons Superman”

Justice League – Cover Art from Vol. 1 #190 “Our Friends, Our Enemies”

Green Lantern – Cover Art from Vol. 2 #41 “The Double Life of Star Sapphire”

Batman (intro issue) – Detective Comics Cover Art from Vol. 1 #27 “The Case of Chemical Syndicate”

But we don’t just have T-Shirts; you can also get these covers (as well as a 2nd Batman cover, and the DC 75^th Anniversary Logo) on Skateboards, Binders, Mugs, Posters, and more.

Be sure to check out everything that’s available during DC Comics 75^th Anniversary, but also check out DC Comics main store, for more of your favorite DC heroes!
