This commercial situation was highlighted by Marvel's superior <a href="/wiki/Sell-through" title="Sell-through">sell-through</a> percentage numbers which were typically 70% to DC's roughly 50%, meaning that DC's publications were barely making a profit after returns from the distributors were factored in, while Marvel was making a healthy profit by comparison.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTETucker2017xiii_61-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETucker2017xiii-61"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>59<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Also in 1961, both DC and Marvel increased their cover price from ten cents to twelve cents, while the rival publisher <a href="/wiki/Dell_Comics" title="Dell Comics">Dell Comics</a> was charging fifteen cents.<sup id="cite_ref-62" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-62"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>60<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>At this time, the senior DC staff were reportedly unable to explain how this small publishing house was achieving its increasingly threatening commercial strength. For instance, when Marvel's product was examined in a meeting, the emphasis on more sophisticated character-based narrative and artist-driven visual storytelling was apparently overlooked. Instead, superficial reasons were put forward to account for the brand's popularity, like the presence of the color red or word balloons on the cover, or that the perceived crudeness of the interior art was somehow more appealing to readers. When Lee learned about DC's subsequent experimental attempts to imitate these perceived details, he amused himself by arranging direct defiance of those assumptions in Marvel's publications as sales strengthened further to frustrate the competition.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTETucker201711–13_63-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETucker201711–13-63"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>61<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>However, this ignorance of Marvel's true appeal did not extend to some of the writing talent during this period, and attempts were made to emulate Marvel's narrative approach.

This publishing format allowed for the deliberate creation of finite storylines within a more flexible publishing format that could showcase creations without forcing the talent into unsustainable open-ended commitments. The first such title was <i><a href="/wiki/World_of_Krypton" title="World of Krypton">World of Krypton</a></i> in 1979, and its positive results led to subsequent similar titles and later more ambitious productions like <i><a href="/wiki/Camelot_3000" title="Camelot 3000">Camelot 3000</a></i> for the direct market in 1982.<sup id="cite_ref-82" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-82"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>80<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>These changes in policy shaped the future of the medium as a whole, and in the short term allowed DC to entice creators away from rival Marvel, and encourage stability on individual titles. In November 1980 DC launched the ongoing series <i><a href="/wiki/The_New_Teen_Titans" class="mw-redirect" title="The New Teen Titans">The New Teen Titans</a></i>, by writer <a href="/wiki/Marv_Wolfman" title="Marv Wolfman">Marv Wolfman</a> and artist <a href="/wiki/George_P%C3%A9rez" title="George Pérez">George Pérez</a>, two popular talents with a history of success.

In addition, Wolfman and Pérez took advantage of the limited-series option to create a spin-off title, <i>Tales of the New Teen Titans</i>, to present origin stories of their original characters without having to break the narrative flow of the main series or oblige them to double their work load with another ongoing title. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Modern_Age">Modern Age</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=DC_Comics&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Modern Age"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Modern_Age_of_Comic_Books" title="Modern Age of Comic Books">Modern Age of Comic Books</a></div> <p>This successful revitalization of the Silver Age Teen Titans led DC's editors<sup id="cite_ref-84" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-84"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>82<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> to seek the same for the wider <a href="/wiki/DC_Universe" title="DC Universe">DC Universe</a>. The result, the Wolfman/Pérez 12-issue limited series <i><a href="/wiki/Crisis_on_Infinite_Earths" title="Crisis on Infinite Earths">Crisis on Infinite Earths</a></i>, gave the company an opportunity to realign and jettison some of the characters' complicated backstory and continuity discrepancies. A companion publication, two volumes entitled <i>The History of the DC Universe</i>, set out the revised history of the major DC characters. <i>Crisis</i> featured many key deaths that shaped the DC Universe for the following decades, and it separated the timeline of DC publications into pre- and post-"Crisis". </p><p>Meanwhile, a parallel update had started in the non-superhero and horror titles. Since early 1984, the work of British writer <a href="/wiki/Alan_Moore" title="Alan Moore">Alan Moore</a> had revitalized the horror series <i><a href="/wiki/The_Saga_of_the_Swamp_Thing" class="mw-redirect" title="The Saga of the Swamp Thing">The Saga of the Swamp Thing</a></i>, and soon numerous British writers, including <a href="/wiki/Neil_Gaiman" title="Neil Gaiman">Neil Gaiman</a> and <a href="/wiki/Grant_Morrison" title="Grant Morrison">Grant Morrison</a>, began freelancing for the company. The resulting influx of sophisticated horror-fantasy material led to DC in 1993 establishing the <a href="/wiki/Vertigo_Comics" title="Vertigo Comics">Vertigo</a> mature-readers imprint, which did not subscribe to the <a href="/wiki/Comics_Code_Authority" title="Comics Code Authority">Comics Code Authority</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-85" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-85"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>83<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Two DC limited series, <i><a href="/wiki/Batman:_The_Dark_Knight_Returns" class="mw-redirect" title="Batman: The Dark Knight Returns">Batman: The Dark Knight Returns</a></i> by <a href="/wiki/Frank_Miller" title="Frank Miller">Frank Miller</a> and <i><a href="/wiki/Watchmen" title="Watchmen">Watchmen</a></i> by Moore and artist <a href="/wiki/Dave_Gibbons" title="Dave Gibbons">Dave Gibbons</a>, drew attention in the mainstream press for their dark psychological complexity and promotion of the antihero.<sup id="cite_ref-86" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-86"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>84<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> These titles helped pave the way for comics to be more widely accepted in literary-criticism circles and to make inroads into the book industry, with collected editions of these series as commercially successful <a href="/wiki/Trade_paperbacks" class="mw-redirect" title="Trade paperbacks">trade paperbacks</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-87" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-87"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>85<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The mid-1980s also saw the end of many long-running DC <a href="/wiki/War_comics" title="War comics">war comics</a>, including series that had been in print since the 1960s.

In June, the <a href="/wiki/Batman_(1989_film)" title="Batman (1989 film)">first Tim Burton-directed Batman film</a> was released, and DC began publishing its hardcover series of <a href="/wiki/DC_Archive_Editions" title="DC Archive Editions">DC Archive Editions</a>; these were collections of many of their early, key comics series, featuring rare and expensive stories previously unseen by the majority of modern fans. Much of the restoration work was handled by Rick Keene, with colour restoration performed by DC's long-time resident colourist <a href="/wiki/Bob_LeRose" title="Bob LeRose">Bob LeRose</a>. The Archive Editions attempted to retroactively credit many of the writers and artists who had worked for DC without receiving much recognition during the early age of comic books when individual credits were rare. </p><p>The comics industry experienced a brief boom in the early 1990s, thanks to a combination of speculative purchasing—mass purchase of the books as collectible items, with the intention to resell at a higher value (as the rising value of older issues was thought to imply that <i>all</i> comics would rise dramatically in price)—and several storylines gaining attention from the mainstream media. DC's extended storylines in which <a href="/wiki/The_Death_of_Superman" title="The Death of Superman">Superman was killed</a>, <a href="/wiki/Batman:_Knightfall" title="Batman: Knightfall">Batman was crippled</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Emerald_Twilight" title="Emerald Twilight">Green Lantern turned into the supervillain Parallax</a>, resulted in dramatically increased sales. However, the increases were temporary, and sales dropped off as the industry went into a major slump, while manufactured "<a href="/wiki/Collectable" title="Collectable">collectables</a>" numbering in the millions replaced quality with quantity until fans and speculators alike deserted the medium in droves. </p><p>DC's <a href="/wiki/Piranha_Press" title="Piranha Press">Piranha Press</a> and other imprints (including the mature readers' line <a href="/wiki/Vertigo_Comics" title="Vertigo Comics">Vertigo</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Helix_(comics)" title="Helix (comics)">Helix</a>, a short-lived science fiction imprint) were introduced to facilitate compartmentalized diversification and allow for specialized marketing of individual product lines. They increased the use of non-traditional contractual arrangements, including the dramatic rise of creator-owned projects, leading to a significant increase in critically lauded work (much of it for Vertigo) and the licensing of material from other companies. DC also increased publication of book-store friendly formats, including <a href="/wiki/Trade_paperback_(comics)" title="Trade paperback (comics)">trade paperback</a> collections of individual serial comics, as well as original <a href="/wiki/Graphic_novel" title="Graphic novel">graphic novels</a>. </p><p>One of the other imprints was <a href="/wiki/Impact_Comics" title="Impact Comics">Impact Comics</a> from 1991 to 1992 in which the <a href="/wiki/Archie_Comics" title="Archie Comics">Archie Comics</a> superheroes were licensed and revamped.<sup id="cite_ref-88" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-88"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>86<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-89" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-89"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>87<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The stories in the line were part of its own shared universe.<sup id="cite_ref-cbr_90-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-cbr-90"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>88<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>DC entered into a publishing agreement with <a href="/wiki/Milestone_Media" title="Milestone Media">Milestone Media</a> that gave DC a line of comics featuring a culturally and racially diverse range of superhero characters. Although the Milestone line ceased publication after a few years, it yielded the popular animated series <i><a href="/wiki/Static_Shock" title="Static Shock">Static Shock</a></i>. DC established <a href="/wiki/Paradox_Press" title="Paradox Press">Paradox Press</a> to publish material such as the large-format <i>Big Book of...</i> series of multi-artist interpretations on individual themes, and such crime fiction as the graphic novel <i><a href="/wiki/Road_to_Perdition_(comics)" title="Road to Perdition (comics)">Road to Perdition</a></i>. In 1998, DC purchased <a href="/wiki/WildStorm" title="WildStorm">WildStorm</a> Comics, <a href="/wiki/Jim_Lee" title="Jim Lee">Jim Lee</a>'s imprint under the <a href="/wiki/Image_Comics" title="Image Comics">Image Comics</a> banner, continuing it for many years as a wholly separate imprint (and fictional universe) with its own unique style and audience. As part of this purchase, DC also began to publish titles under the fledgling WildStorm sub-imprint <a href="/wiki/America%27s_Best_Comics" title="America's Best Comics">America's Best Comics</a> (ABC), a series of titles created by <a href="/wiki/Alan_Moore" title="Alan Moore">Alan Moore</a> which included <i><a href="/wiki/The_League_of_Extraordinary_Gentlemen" title="The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen">The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Tom_Strong" title="Tom Strong">Tom Strong</a></i>, and <i><a href="/wiki/Promethea" title="Promethea">Promethea</a></i>. Moore strongly opposed this move, and DC eventually stopped publishing ABC. </p><p>In March 2003, DC acquired publishing and merchandising rights to the long-running fantasy series <i><a href="/wiki/Elfquest" title="Elfquest">Elfquest</a></i>, previously self-published by creators <a href="/wiki/Wendy_and_Richard_Pini" title="Wendy and Richard Pini">Wendy and Richard Pini</a> under their <a href="/wiki/WaRP_Graphics" title="WaRP Graphics">WaRP Graphics</a> publication banner.

Agents">T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents</a>, in collection into DC Archive Editions. In 2004, DC temporarily acquired the North American publishing rights to graphic novels from European publishers <a href="/wiki/2000_AD_(comics)" title="2000 AD (comics)">2000 AD</a> and <a href="/wiki/Les_Humano%C3%AFdes_Associ%C3%A9s" title="Les Humanoïdes Associés">Humanoids</a>. It also rebranded its younger-audience titles with the mascot <a href="/wiki/Johnny_DC" title="Johnny DC">Johnny DC</a> and established the <a href="/wiki/CMX_(comics)" title="CMX (comics)">CMX</a> imprint to reprint translated <a href="/wiki/Manga" title="Manga">manga</a>. In 2006, CMX took over from <a href="/wiki/Dark_Horse_Comics" title="Dark Horse Comics">Dark Horse Comics</a>' publication of the webcomic <i><a href="/wiki/Megatokyo" title="Megatokyo">Megatokyo</a></i> in print form. DC also took advantage of the demise of <a href="/wiki/Kitchen_Sink_Press" title="Kitchen Sink Press">Kitchen Sink Press</a> and acquired the rights to much of the work of <a href="/wiki/Will_Eisner" title="Will Eisner">Will Eisner</a>, such as his <i><a href="/wiki/Spirit_(comics_character)" title="Spirit (comics character)">The Spirit</a></i> series and his graphic novels. </p><p>In 2004, DC began laying the groundwork for a full continuity-reshuffling sequel to <i>Crisis on Infinite Earths</i>, promising substantial changes to the DC Universe (and side-stepping the 1994 <i><a href="/wiki/Zero_Hour_(comics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Zero Hour (comics)">Zero Hour</a></i> event which similarly tried to <a href="/wiki/Comics_vocabulary#Retcon" class="mw-redirect" title="Comics vocabulary">ret-con</a> the history of the DCU). In 2005, the critically lauded <i><a href="/wiki/Batman_Begins" title="Batman Begins">Batman Begins</a></i> film was released; also, the company published several limited series establishing increasingly escalating conflicts among DC's heroes, with events climaxing in the <i><a href="/wiki/Infinite_Crisis" title="Infinite Crisis">Infinite Crisis</a></i> limited series.
