DC Comics published the first comic book with all-original material in February of 1935, and generations of young readers would never be the same. 2010 marks the 75th anniversary of this seminal event in pop culture history. Witness the Golden Age of Comics as it evolves into the Silver Age with this collectors edition of Vintage DC Comics, and take a nostalgic journey to the past. Memorable characters leap through time with this unique collection of faithfully restored cover reproductions. Sixteen classic covers are preserved on heavy, 100 percent recycled paper with soy-based inks, for a new generation of fans to enjoy. This unique, eco-friendly edition includes images that are perforated to fit an 11 in x 14 in frame. It's a wire-bound collection of archival-quality prints, cleverly disguised as a calendar. Inside: commentary and a special introduction: 75 Years of DC Comics, by Bill Jourdain. This is a true 16-month calendar.

I love this calendar. The reprint quality is great and it's a lot of fun. This is the second year I've bought it, and I hope to see one available each year from now on! If you enjoy the classic comics covers like I do (reprinted in a large size format and on sturdy cardboard stock), then you should definitely add this to your shopping cart. Highly recommended!

Simply put this is a calendar that is designed to be a collectible long after the year is over. It, and presumably the Marvel comics version, features larger than life covers of classic or interesting comic books. I could see if I had a home library room using some of these to decorate my walls on a rotating basis.
