Look! Up at that building in New York City! It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's the comic empire DC Comics! The world's #2 comic book publisher (behind longtime nemesis Marvel) controls 30% of the market and owns the rights to what is arguably the best-known roster of superheroes, including Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. DC publishes about 80 monthly comics and licenses the rights to its characters for use in movies, TV shows, books, and other products. Other operations include comic imprints WildStorm and Vertigo, as well as "MAD" magazine. The firm, owned by movie studio Warner Bros., was created in 1937 with the first issue of "Detective Comics" (thus the initials DC).
