About the series
DC’s Famous First Edition (1974–1979) was a nine-issue series that reprinted the debut stories of iconic superheroes, each presented in a facsimile format that honored the original Golden Age comics. Writers Jerry Siegel, Bill Finger, and Charles Moulton, alongside artists Joe Shuster, E. E. Hibbard, and Harry Peter, anchored the run, which preserved landmark origins from the dawn of the superhero genre. This series mattered as a collector-friendly, archival project that made foundational tales—like the first appearances of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman—accessible to a new generation of readers.
