Now, here’s something cool.

Our friends at DK Publishing have put together a massive, chronological account of the adventures of both the characters and the company that created them. The book organizes the company’s major moments, year-by-year with art, factoids and a number of highlights.

THE DC CHRONICLE YEAR BY YEAR traces DC’s fascinating story, from the beginnings to the present day. Remember the year you first picked up a comic? Flip to that page and see what else was going on in the DC Comics universe. It’ll be a fun experience. Trust me. It was the first thing I did when I got a copy of this tome.

Highlighting the debuts of Superman and Batman, the geniuses that invented them, and the real-life events-like the Vietnam War, the atom bomb, the Space Race- that shaped the atmosphere of the times, DC Chronicle Year by Year follows the characters’ foray into the real world through TV series and blockbuster movies.

The book features a snazzy cover by Ryan Sook, to boot, and is available in stores now. What’s the hold up?
