Exploring The Decades-Long Struggle Between DC And Marvel

Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee strikes a pose with Iron Man and Spider-Man at HASCON, the first-ever FANmily™ event from Hasbro, Inc. at the Rhode Island Convention Center on Friday, Sept. 8, 2017.

DC and Marvel Comics have stood as the two titans of the comic book industry for more than 50 years and, like a superhero squaring off against his nemesis, the two have spent much of that time battling one another for dominance. In his new book Slugfest: Inside the Epic, 50-year Battle between Marvel and DC, journalist Reed Tucker goes inside this corporate rivalry and explores how each company has tried to outmaneuver one another in whatever way possible: from stealing ideas to copying one another to launching price wars.
