The Other History of the DC Universe #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeFrom Academy Award-winning screenwriter John Ridley, this DC Black Label volume tells the story of Jefferson Pierce across a sweeping 1972–1995 timeline. The cover, rendered by Giuseppe Camuncoli with coloring by José Villarrubia, presents two figures in striking split-screen tension — a red-and-gold costumed hero crackling with lightning energy on one side, and a confident woman in a red-and-black suit on the other, the whole image threaded with fracture lines that hint at a world under pressure. It's a beautifully composed package that signals serious, grounded superhero storytelling told from a perspective DC's history doesn't always center.
