Wednesday Comics was a weekly anthology comic book launched by DC Comics on July 8, 2009.[1] The twelve issues of the title were published in 14" x 20" broadsheet format,[2] deliberately similar to Sunday newspaper comics sections. Each edition featured 15 pages, each from a different story by a different creative team.

Publication history

Spearheaded by DCU Editorial Art Director Mark Chiarello,[3] creators were approached and asked to develop stories for the characters they would most like to write. Each issue was 16 pages, with each story taking up one full page when folded out.

The first Superman story was printed in USA Today[4] and subsequent installments were posted online at the USA Today website.[5]
