The Creators of The Justice League Superheroes

FYI: DC comics

By: Eia Marie Belveder

DC Comics is an American comic book and related media company. A subsidiary of Warner Bros. Entertainment (part of Time Warner) since 1969, DC is the world's largest English language publisher of comic books, with one of the largest shares of the direct market of the United States' comic book industry. DC Comics produces material featuring a large number of characters — many of which have been considered among the most influential in their genre's history. These include Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and their teammates in the Justice League.

DC Comics was founded as National Allied Publications in 1934 by Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson. The initials "DC" were originally an abbreviation for Detective Comics (one of their comic book titles), and later became the company's official name. DC has been succesively headquartered at different areas of New York City, including: 432 Fourth Avenue; 480 and later 575 Lexington Avenue; 909 Third Avenue; 75 Rockefeller Plaza; 666 Fifth Avenue; and 1325 Avenue of the Americas. DC moved to 1700 Broadway in the mid-1990s, relocating there with Warner Bros. Entertainment's Mad, which had moved from 485 Madison Avenue. Paul Levitz is the President and Publisher whileDan DiDio is the Senior Vice President, DC Executive Editor.

Finding the league from cover to cover...

Searching DC....comics.
By: Eia Marie Belveder

Last month, ive' been in Trinoma; the new ayala mall located in north edsa,Philippines. Ive been searching for the best Justice League comic book, for my creative resource in my Justice League Event for kids thesis. After several minutes looking, I manage to find a comic bookstore at the second floor of the mall. I asked the owner if they have the latest issue of the Justice League Unlimited for kids, unfortunately they don't. They only sell "collector comic book items" of different comic book genres and magazines (mostly DC and Marvel superheroes). I do like to buy a magazine because i browse one, and it was ideal and comprehensive, but it cost too much, the price range was 300,500 & 1000+ pesos. So, I looked for their on-sale items and bought one comic book costing 160 pesos which is the Justice League America.


Being persistent in finding one Justice League Unlimited comic bookfor kids which i seen available in other countries, based on the internet, i walked and searched in SM north edsa mall beside Trinoma to find one. Luckily, i manage to see 5 comic books of its kind, the exact one that im looking for. I would like to buy it all but i dont have enough cash. So, i pick the best one and bought it for 150 pesos. Fair enough, i got no regrets in buying both, even if the one is Justice League America because i believe that the two books will help me compare and know different drawing style and techniques of DC comics, (adult nor kids oriented).

Below were the 2 comic books i bought:
