DC Comics is one of the oldest and largest American comic book publishers, foundational to the creation of the superhero genre. Founded in 1934 as National Allied Publications by Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson, the company debuted Superman in Action Comics #1 in 1938, an event that launched the Golden Age of Comics and established the archetype of the modern superhero. This was quickly followed by the introduction of Batman in 1939 and Wonder Woman in 1941, who, alongside Superman, form a trinity of the most recognizable fictional characters in the world.
