Academy Award-winning screenwriter John Ridley (12 Years a Slave, Let It Fall) examines the mythology of the DC Universe in this compelling new graphic novel!

Extensively researched and masterfully executed, THE OTHER HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE promises to be an experience unlike any other.

Check out my review of this @DCComics limited series The Other History of the DC Universe released on the DC Black Label imprint. While this “people’s history” is a great concept, the result is at times over written, dated, and lacking in the politics of substance. https://twitter.com/fullstopmag/status/1455162709553532933
