No extension in the next couple days, but there will be another 20+ year extension purchased within the next 11 years. Why? To make sure 1938 doesn't go PD.
I will leave it up to the reader as an exercise to determine what is special about 1938.
- daemoens 4y agoWhat's special about 1938?
- leviathant 4y agoI'm going to guess the reference here is Superman
- Sunspark 4y agoThat's right! DC Comics is owned by Warner Brothers. In 1939 you have Namor the Sub-Mariner which is owned by Disney.
- joshspankit 4y agoI wonder what Siegel and Shuster would say

Documents on Prescott Bush, grandfather of Bush Jr, who happily sold steel to the Nazis and created the current Bush family pile [1]?

- ebiester 4y agoIs the start of the golden age of comic books enough? I'm honestly not convinced.
- astrange 4y agoDC certainly isn't succeeding at a media empire lately, though I guess they have 11 years to go. There's a lot of valuable stories in Golden Age comics. One thing that makes them unique(?) is so many of them are total surreal nonsense, like the writers hadn't slept in a month, or their studios all had carbon monoxide leaks. Don't think you'll get that from a modern work environment. https://www.printmag.com/comics-animation-design/fletcher-hanks/ https://www.printmag.com/comics-animation-design/fletcher-ha...
