It started in 1935, with More Fun Comics. Now it’s 2025 and we’re All In. DC begins a 10 year countdown to 100 years of storytelling by dedicating this year’s Comic-Con booth to their first 10 years — the Golden Age. Or at least the beginning of the Golden Age, because I’d put the end of the era around the time they stopped publishing All Star Comics. But that’s pedantic.
That first decade marks an astounding explosion of creativity, particularly once Action Comics hit the stands starring Siegel and Shuster’s Superman. Wonder whatever happened to him? But then you get Batman, Wonder Woman, and many more both weird and wonderful. It looks like I have time in my press schedule to attend Thursday’s gathering of cosplay at the booth (Booth #4544), and I’m excited to see it. Partially because I love that era, but mostly because it’s been a long time since I’ve been this excited about what’s going on with DC. That’s Thursday from 5 – 6 pm at Booth #4544, with a focus on Golden Age cosplay.
From DC:
In 2025, DC enters the final decade of its first 100 years. With reverence for the past and an embrace of the future, DC plans to celebrate every era of its storied history annually in 10-year increments, starting at the beginning: 1935-1945. The 2025 DC Booth will feature art and experiences from this first decade of publication, where it all started. From Golden Age beginners to iconic legacies this nascent age was a time of unprecedented creation and saw the birth of not only DC, but of the comic book art form with DC’s New Fun #1, DC Super Heroes, and the DC Trinity: Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.
Stop by the DC newsstand for a free 1940s-style Daily Planet newspaper, complete with classic DC Comics ads, pulled direct from DC’s comic book archives, that once promoted the heroes and adventures of their time!

Once again, don’t sleep on those books labeled “All In” and “Absolute.” They’re absolutely exciting.
