Line of trade paperbacks
The
DC Chronicles
is a line of
trade paperbacks
, chronologically reprinting the earliest stories (based on publication dates) starring some of the best-known
DC Comics
superheroes
.
Stories are reprinted in color with no ads, providing readers access to original
Golden
and
Silver Age
comic book
stories which had previously been reprinted in the
DC Archive Editions
format. The volumes were priced significantly lower than the
Archives
series in order to be more affordable for the reader, with each one typically priced at $14.99
USD
.
The final volumes were released in 2013. Since then, DC has been re-publishing these stories in the same chronological format in the bigger
DC Omnibus
series. Each Age era Omnibus volume is also published as two or three (depending on page count) trade paperbacks.
