This summer, DC Comics introduces a unique comic book experience that harkens
back to the earliest days of comics. Wednesday Comics showcases 15 separate
stories all presented in single over-sized page weekly chapters.
In the earliest days of the 20th century, newspapers used comic strips to
showcase their new color printing capablilites in their Sunday comics section.
Each page of the section was devoted to a single comic strip such as Little
Nemo, Gasoline Alley, Flash Gordon or Terry and the Pirates. Papers were also
printed on much larger pages than modern papers -- often twice as big. Many
of the Sunday features were serialized adventure stories rather than humor
strips. With Wednesday Comics, DC is hoping to recapture the flavor of the
old Sunday comics section, updated for the 21st century.
On this site, we give sample pages for many of the Wednesday Comics features
(just click on one of the side graphics), all of which have been posted on
DC's The Source site or by creators on their Web sites.
We'll also post all the links to Wednesday comics news and articles we
can find. Check back regularly for updates!
