DC is celebrating it’s 75th year in existence, and to help do that they contacted the uber talented Len Wein to write a series of comics chronicling the oldest days of DC and how they translate to today. Now you get to witness the earliest incarnations of teams, re-written for us as a modern audience (so those golden and silver age comics don’t seem so dated). On top of that, Andy and Joe Kubert are teaming up to do the artwork for the book, as well as guest spots by other artists that you know you love! And now, thanks to DCU’s The Source blog, we have a preview of the first issue, out this week!

It starts here! DC Comics proudly presents a ten-part history of the DC Universe spanning five generations of heroes from the dawn of the Mystery Men to present day. In this first exciting issue, the Second World War rages on, giving birth to a new breed of hero. Caped and masked urban myths become legends as they emerge from the shadows to earn their place in history. Meanwhile, explore the bizarre new heroes Dr. Fate and The Spectre and learn whether their powers are real…or imagined.
Join renowned writer Len Wein (SWAMP THING, Incredible Hulk), legendary artist Joe Kubert (SGT. ROCK), his son, the fan-favorite Andy Kubert (BATMAN, X-Men) and J.G. Jones (FINAL CRISIS, 52) as they unearth the DCU’s epic history in this event you won’t want to miss!
