DC Sets DOLLAR COMICS Line-Up For October

The new reprint line will feature The Joker, Superman, Swamp Thing — and MORE…

As you know by now, DC in September will launch a line of dollar reprints on top of its Facsimile Editions (which will start coming out in August). You can click here for that initial line-up.

Cool? Cool.

Anyway, the publisher on Monday released its October slate of Dollar Comics — and there are some real doozies in there:

As I’ve noted before, DC’s Facsimile Editions and Dollar Comics are designed to promote other projects. Two of them are listed above. But clearly The Joker and Watchmen issues are meant to play off the new movie and HBO series, respectively.

And Swamp Thing? Well, there’s the DC Universe show — even though it’s already been cancelled. But, hey, Wein and Wrightson for a buck? That’s an easy pick-up.
