  As a child I always thought the "DC" stood for Washington DC. It took many years until I actually learned the truth on that matter

  Ignore the popping noises that happen for no reason. It&apos;s definitely not a code asking for help...

  Love these videos. DC Comics is just what it is now. It&apos;s what I have grown up with and don&apos;t mind it at all.

  Those National Comics covers were from a series published by Quality Comics and not part of the National Allied Publishing group.

  I always knew there was some kind of connection between the early National and American comics companies, but didn&apos;t really know the details. &nbsp;Ironically (or is it?) the only superheroes to survive the dearth of popularity in the early 50s were National&apos;s heavy hitters, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. &nbsp;They&apos;re the only ones whose titles were published non-stop (and Blackhawk, but then again, they&apos;re not really superheroes). &nbsp;Flash, Green Lantern, and the others had to be brought back and reinvented when superheroes became popular again. &nbsp;<br><br>But what&apos;s always fascinated me was the development of DC&apos;s multiverse, first with the Golden Age characters being put on a separate world, and then coming up with new alternate worlds for each set of characters DC absorbed from other comic companies. &nbsp;Earth-X for the Quality comics characters, Earth-S for the Fawcett characters, etc. &nbsp;And it was because I liked the multiverse so much that I hated 1985&apos;s Crisis on Infinite Earths, because they didn&apos;t just re-unify the multiverse, they made the change retroactive, so that allegedly, the multiverse never existed. That retroactivity is what really bugged me. &nbsp;<br><br>Marvel&apos;s multiverse blossomed <b>after</b> I stopped trying to keep up with current comics, so I have little knowledge or understanding of it.

  Scott looks really good on this video! I like how you can notice an evolution on Scott&apos;s style through the years, tbh I think he&apos;s one of the most stylish nerd youtubers around.
