About the The Official Crisis On Infinite Earts Index #1 (1986)

Official Crisis on Infinite Earths Index (1986). To celebrate DC Comic's 50th Anniversary Marv Wolfman and George Perez were charged with the Herculean task of simplifying the company's fifty-year-old continuity. Thus, Crisis on Infinite Earths, a twelve issue maxiseries/crossover event, was created. This index provides credits, feature characters, guest-stars, villains, comments, and a synopsis for each of the twelve issues in the series. It also offers details and first appearances for the multiple Earths featured in the story (Earth-1-6, Earth-S, Earth-X, Earth-Prime, and more). Edited by Murray R. Ward. Written by Lou Mougin and Mark Waid with special thanks to Robert Greenberger and George Perez. The cover, illustrated by series artist George Perez, is a group shot of most of the heroes who sacrificed themselves to save the DC Universe during the Crisis (including Superman (Earth-2), Supergirl, Flash (Barry Allen), Lori Lemaris, Aquagirl, Superboy (Earth-Prime), and many others). This index is the perfect compliment to the epic original Crisis and also provides a perfect jumping on point for DC's Post-Crisis continuity. And, it can be used as a nice prelude to DC's 2005 follow-up, Infinite Crisis
