The Difference between DC Comics and Marvel Comics
DC Comics and Marvel Comics are both leaders in their field. However, each has somehow managed to carve out their own niche and reach a different type of reader. Doing so expertly has made them each successful in their own way.
DC Comics, originally named Action Comics, was responsible for really bringing the comic book industry to a great level of public awareness. They did this with their creation of the highly successful superhero that we all know as Superman. Superman first came into being in 1938 and immediately became a raging success with adults and children alike. After seeing how popular this form of media was and how successful Superman was, DC Comics began developing and eventually released other superheroes such as the Green Lantern, the Flash, and Batman.
