All Star DC Comics
All Star DC Comics is a line of comic books published by DC Comics. The line was launched in 2005 with the aim of creating high-quality, standalone stories featuring some of DC's most iconic characters. The All Star imprint allows writers and artists to reinterpret these characters without being constrained by the continuity of the main DC Universe.
History[edit | edit source]
The All Star line was conceived as a way to attract top-tier talent to work on DC's most popular characters, providing them with the creative freedom to tell unique and innovative stories. The first title in the line was All Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder, written by Frank Miller and illustrated by Jim Lee. This series reimagined the early days of Batman and Robin.
Following the success of All Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder, DC launched All Star Superman in 2006, written by Grant Morrison and illustrated by Frank Quitely. This series received critical acclaim and won several awards, including the Eisner Award for Best New Series.
Titles[edit | edit source]
The All Star line includes the following titles:
- All Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder - Written by Frank Miller and illustrated by Jim Lee.
- All Star Superman - Written by Grant Morrison and illustrated by Frank Quitely.
Reception[edit | edit source]
The All Star line has been met with mixed reactions. While All Star Superman is widely regarded as one of the best Superman stories ever told, All Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder received criticism for its dark tone and controversial portrayal of Batman.
Legacy[edit | edit source]
Despite the mixed reception, the All Star line has had a lasting impact on the comic book industry. It demonstrated the potential for standalone stories to explore new and innovative takes on classic characters. The success of All Star Superman in particular has influenced subsequent Superman stories and adaptations.
