In 1985, DC Comics dramatically altered comics’ original universe with Crisis on Infinite Earths—an unforgettable, defining event in comics history that streamlined the DC Universe continuity. Nine years later, the heroes of the DC Universe found the temporal fabric of their new reality unraveling, and the biggest threat since the Crisis was about to be revealed in Zero Hour: Crisis in Time. As part of the robust DC Finest line of collections, the first half of Zero Hour is now available in one comprehensive softcover collection! From comics legends including Dan Jurgens and Jerry Ordway, this is an iconic 1990s comic book event, featuring DC’s heroes throughout the timeline!
