Celebrating The Dark Knight’s Birthday

This year it was Superman’s 80th anniversary and 2019 sees Batman’s 80th birthday and Detective Comics, the comic that gave DC its name, hits 1000 issues too. DC has just released the details of its variant covers…

As part of DC’s year-long global celebration of Batman’s 80^thanniversary, DC is publishing a momentous 1,000^th issue of DETECTIVE COMICS—the series that introduced the world’s most popular Super Hero and the title from which the DC brand was born. This must-have collector’s item debuts March 27, 2019 and includes all-new stories plus a wraparound cover from the powerhouse art team of fan-favourite artist Jim Lee, inker Scott Williams and colourist Alex Sinclair.

To further celebrate the Caped Crusader’s 80-year legacy, DETECTIVE COMICS #1000 will offer an extensive retailer variant cover program. Hardcore collectors will want to get their hands on this series of variant covers showcasing the Dark Knight through various decades from iconic Batman artists such as Steve Rude, Michael Cho, Jim Steranko, Bernie Wrightson, Frank Miller, Tim Sale, Jock and Greg Capullo—plus an homage to Jerry Robinson’s cover of November 1942’s DETECTIVE COMICS #69 by Bruce Timm.

This 96-page oversize collector’s edition issue will be available at comics retailers and digitally on March 27, 2019, for $9.99. More details on the cross-company festivities for Batman’s 80^th anniversary will be released in the coming months. Visit www.dccomics.com or the DC YouTube channel for the latest news and updates.
