An EXTREMELY rare vintage 1988 THE HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE POSTER. This poster features many DC Comics characters and the mock signatures (not the actual signatures) of the artists that drew them. It was a mail-away poster from the History of the DC Universe hardcover book. It is the poster of the foldout that was included in that book when you purchased the first hardbacks of History of the DC Universe. It came with a postcard you sent in and they would send you this poster. Total number of copies of this poster vary but most agree there were no more than a few thousand made. Artists Include : Jim Mooney, Jim Aparo, Steve Bissette/John Totleben, Denys Cowan, P. Craig Russell, Mart Nodell, Joe Staton, Dave Stevens, Bill Sienkiewicz, Jack Kirby/Mike Royer, Keith Giffen, Brett Blevins/Al Williamson, Michael Kaluta, Gene Colan, Steve Lightle, Brian Bolland, Michael T Gilbert, Jim Starlin, Joe Kubert, Art Adams, Walt Simonson, Paul Norris, Mike Grell, Mary Wilshire, Andy Kubert, Gil Kane, Kurt Schaffenberger, Bob Kane, Curt Swan, George Perez, Howard Chaykin, Jan Duursema, Carmine Infantino, Jim Steranko, Gray Morrow, Neal Adams, Murphy Anderson, Dave Gibbons, Gilbert Hernandez, Dan Spiegle, Frank Thorne, Ramona Fradon, Matt Wagner, Ernie Colon, Bob Kane, Irwin Hasen, Joe Orlando, Dave Stevens, Pat Broderick, Steve Rude, Frank McLaughlin, and Dick Giordano.
