Description

All the greatest DC heroes from across time and space join forces to stop a being more powerful than any they've ever faced--a mysterious being known as the Anti-Monitor who has begun a crusade across time to bring about the end of all existence. 35 YEARS AGO, WORLDS LIVED, WORLDS DIED-- AND COMICS WERE NEVER THE SAME. As their planets are erased from existence one by one, can the heroes from different Earths band together to stop the destruction of all existence? It's going to take the combined powers of two Supermen, the Flash, a new Superboy, Supergirl, Alexander Luthor, and countless others to fight the madness--and not all will survive. An unforgettable and defining event in comics history, Crisis on Infinite Earths was the first company-wide crossover to make good on its promise of lasting change. Written by Marv Wolfman and penciled by George Perez, Crisis on Infinite Earths- 35th Anniversary Deluxe Edition collects the entire 12-issue series--with each page painstakingly restored and meticulously recolored--and also includes the creative team's 100-page follow-up, History of the DC Universe, as well as a wealth of additional behind-the-scenes material.

Author Biography

In a career that has spanned nearly 30 years, Marv Wolfman has helped shape the heroic careers of DC Comics' Green Lantern, Blackhawk, and the original Teen Titans, as well as Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and Nova. In addition to co-creating The New Teen Titans and the universe-shattering Crisis on Infinite Earths with George Perez, Wolfman was instrumental in the revamp of Superman after Crisis, the development of The New Teen Titans spin-off series Vigilante, Deathstroke the Terminator, and Team Titans, and created such characters as Blade for Marvel, along with Night Force and the retooled Dial "H" For Hero for DC. In addition to his numerous comic book credits, Wolfman has also written several novels and worked in series television and animation, including the Superman cartoon of the late 1980s and currently the hit Teen Titans show on Cartoon Network. George Perez started drawing at the age of five and hasn't stopped since. Born on June 9, 1954, Perez began his professional comics career as an assistant to Rich Buckler in 1973. After establishing himself as a penciller at Marvel Comics, Perez came to DC in 1980, bringing his highly detailed art style to such titles as Justice League of America and Firestorm. After co-creating The New Teen Titans in 1980, Perez and writer Marv Wolfman reunited for the landmark miniseries Crisis On Infinite Earths in 1985. In the aftermath of that universe-smashing event, Perez revitalized Wonder Woman as the series' writer and artist, reestablishing her as one of DC's preeminent characters and bringing in some of the best sales the title has ever experienced. He has since gone on to illustrate celebrated runs on Marvel'sThe Avengers, CrossGen's Solus, and DC's The Brave and the Bold.
