Crisis On Infinite Earths (Absolute Edition)

Worlds lived. Worlds died. And the DC Universe was never the same. In 1985, DC Comics dramatically altered comics' original universe with Crisis on Infinite Earths; a 12-issue series that rocked the comics community, tragically dooming some of DC's most beloved characters and drastically altering others. Now this landmark series gets the star treatment in the Absolute Edition - an oversized slipcased set containing two hardcover books. The 368-page Book One includes the full 12-issue maxiseries (which was painstakingly restored and meticulously recoloured in 1998), with an introduction by Marv Wolfman, afterword by Dick Giordano, and creator biographies. George Perez provides all-new art for the dustjacket.

The 96-page Book Two contains a compendium featuring the full behind-the-scenes story on the years-long making of the maxiseries complete with memos, notes, original plots and commentary from Marv Wolfman and Jerry Ordway; the Official Index to Crisis and Official Index to Crisis Crossovers being reprinted for the very first time, completely updated; a look into post-Crisis events and aftermath stories, how the Superboy/Legion conundrum was solved, and a look at the 20th anniversary of this seminal event.
