<p><i><b>DC Archive Editions</b></i> is a <a href="Line_(comics)" title="Line (comics)">line</a> of hardcovers that was published from 1989–2014, reprinting early, often rare comic book series, titles, and stories. They include more than 160 Golden Age and Silver Age comic properties currently owned by <a href="DC_Comics" title="DC Comics">DC Comics</a>, regardless of whether DC Comics was the original publisher. The series first published <i><a href="Superman" title="Superman">Superman</a> Archives Vol. 1</i> in 1989. Most of the restoration work to make the pages suitable for quality printing has been done by Rick Keene, who has restored more than 2,500 pages.<sup id="cite_ref-comic-restore_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-comic-restore-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>The <i>DC Archive Editions</i> (DCAE) series began with DC's Golden Age, which is actually the output of three inter-related companies in the late 1930s and the early '40s: <a href="Max_Gaines" title="Max Gaines">Max Gaines</a>' <a href="All-American_Publications" title="All-American Publications">All-American Publications</a> (<a href="The_Flash" title="The Flash">Flash</a>, <a href="Green_Lantern" title="Green Lantern">Green Lantern</a>, <a href="Hawkman" title="Hawkman">Hawkman</a>, <a href="Wonder_Woman" title="Wonder Woman">Wonder Woman</a>; <a href="All_Star_Comics" title="All Star Comics">All Star Comics</a> starring the <a href="Justice_Society_of_America" title="Justice Society of America">Justice Society of America</a>, et al.); and <a href="Malcolm_Wheeler-Nicholson" title="Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson">Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson</a>'s National Allied Publications, which became <a href="Harry_Donenfeld" title="Harry Donenfeld">Harry Donenfeld</a>'s Detective Comics (<a href="Batman" title="Batman">Batman</a>, <a href="Superman" title="Superman">Superman</a>, et al.). The series continued with Silver and Bronze Age series such as <i><a href="Legion_of_Super-Heroes" title="Legion of Super-Heroes">Legion of Super-Heroes</a></i>, <i><a href="Challengers_of_the_Unknown" title="Challengers of the Unknown">Challengers of the Unknown</a></i>, <i><a href="Doom_Patrol" title="Doom Patrol">Doom Patrol</a></i>, <i><a href="Metal_Men" title="Metal Men">Metal Men</a></i>, <i><a href="Aquaman" title="Aquaman">Aquaman</a></i>, and <i><a href="Justice_League_of_America" class="mw-redirect" title="Justice League of America">Justice League of America</a></i>.

</p><p>The series' format was designed by Alex Jay with Richard Bruning providing the art direction. Its various volumes also include series/titles not originally published by DC, though acquired in the intervening years, such as: Golden Age characters <a href="Plastic_Man" title="Plastic Man">Plastic Man</a> and <a href="Blackhawk_(DC_Comics)" title="Blackhawk (DC Comics)">Blackhawk</a>, originally published by <a href="Quality_Comics" title="Quality Comics">Quality Comics</a>; the "Shazam" <a href="Marvel_Family" title="Marvel Family">Marvel Family</a> of characters <a href="Shazam_(DC_Comics)" title="Shazam (DC Comics)">Captain Marvel</a>, <a href="Captain_Marvel_Jr." title="Captain Marvel Jr.">Captain Marvel Jr.</a>, and <a href="Mary_Marvel" title="Mary Marvel">Mary Marvel</a>, originally published by <a href="Fawcett_Comics" title="Fawcett Comics">Fawcett</a>; and the <a href="Charlton_Comics" title="Charlton Comics">Charlton</a> Silver Age line of superheroes (<a href="Blue_Beetle" title="Blue Beetle">Blue Beetle</a>, <a href="Captain_Atom" title="Captain Atom">Captain Atom</a>, <a href="Question_(character)" title="Question (character)">The Question</a>, et al.) in the DCAE Action Heroes volumes.

</p><p>The <i>DC Archive Editions</i> preserve DC's history and provide readers with stories that normally would not be available. When the series first started, the cover price was U.S. $39.95, but in the early 1990s the standard cover price became U.S. $49.99, although some books in the line containing more content have cost much more (with a higher page count and higher cover price). Since 2009, new volumes have been released with a cover price of U.S. $59.99.

</p><p>In the early to mid-2000s, newer printings of previously published <i>DC Archive Editions</i> volumes were released at the special introductory cover price of U.S. $19.95. In 2001, excess stock of <i>Batman Archives Vol. 1</i> (originally released back in 1990) first printing edition was sold for this reduced price, with a new price sticker placed on the book's shrink wrap. Sales proved successful, as the remaining inventory sold out. DC used this promotional price again with a second printing of <i>Batman Archives Vol. 1</i> in 2003 (only pre-ordered copies of this second printing for the <a href="Direct_market" title="Direct market">direct market</a> were at this lower price, while the remaining stock for the <a href="Bookselling" title="Bookselling">bookstore</a> market was at the regular U.S. 49.99 price), <i>Superman Archives Vol. 1</i> (fifth printing) in 2004, and <i>Batman: The Dark Knight Archives Vol. 1</i> (third printing) in 2005.

</p><p>It was widely believed that the <i>DC Archive Editions</i> would cease publication in 2008,<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> but, in an issue of the publication <i><a href="Comic_Shop_News" title="Comic Shop News">Comic Shop News</a></i> (issue #1080, February 27, 2008), an update was provided: "In spite of earlier reports of their demise, DC Archives will continue in 2008 and 2009, although in reduced numbers, focusing on continuing already-established Archives' series". The numbers have since decreased from 14 volumes released in 2007 to seven released in 2008, five in 2009, four in 2010, and three in 2011, before rebounding in 2012 with 10 volumes. In 2013, the volume length was increased to 400 pages, but only three volumes were released. The most recent volume, <i>Superman: The Man of Tomorrow Archives Vol. 3</i> was released in 2014. A <i>Captain Comet Archive Vol. 1</i> and <i>Batman: World's Finest Comics Vol. 3</i> were both solicited by DC for release in 2013, but both were cancelled prior to release and have yet to be rescheduled.

</p><p>Post-2014, with no new <i>DC Archive Editions</i> released, DC has instead published the hardcover <i><a href="DC_Omnibus" title="DC Omnibus">DC Omnibus</a></i> line, with various titles/characters from the Golden Age, the Silver Age, and the Bronze Age eras, and each <i>Age</i> era Omnibus volume is also published as two or three (depending on page count) trade paperbacks, replacing the <i>DC Archive Editions</i> line.

</p><p><i><a href="Will_Eisner" title="Will Eisner">Will Eisner</a>'s <a href="Spirit_(comics_character)" title="Spirit (comics character)">The Spirit</a> Archives</i>, <i><a href="T.H.U.N.D.E.R._Agents" title="T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents">T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents</a> Archives</i>, <i><a href="Mad_(magazine)" title="Mad (magazine)">Mad</a> Archives</i>, and <i><a href="Elfquest" title="Elfquest">Elfquest</a> Archives</i> are not technically part of the formal <i>DC Archive Editions</i> series (DCAEs are typified by a cover format consisting of a black pinstriped background onto which a colored v-shaped area is overlaid from the top, reaching almost to the bottom for all books) as DC does not own those properties/characters, and is licensing them from the copyright holders. In the case of <i>Mad</i>, the property is owned by DC's parent company, but not DC itself. The licensing for the <i>T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents</i> works is held by <a href="IDW_Publishing" title="IDW Publishing">IDW</a> as of 2012. These non-<i>DC Archive Editions</i> series published by DC, however, are included in the list here, as the physical format (paper stock, size dimension, etc.) is similar enough that the average fan would consider them part of the overall <i>DC Archive Editions</i> series.

<p>The first volume of the <i>Plastic Man Archives</i> won the <a href="Comics_Buyer's_Guide_Fan_Awards" title="Comics Buyer's Guide Fan Awards">Comics Buyer's Guide Fan Award</a> for Favorite Reprint Graphic Album in 2001.
