WEDNESDAY COMICS. DC Comics. 198 pages. $49.99.

Last year, some of the rout writers and artists in the DC comics stable came together for an ambitious project that sought to recapture the fun of the old-fashioned newspaper Sunday comics detachment.

Over the course of 12 weeks, the company released the Wednesday Comics , a series of broadsheet comics with one-page serialized stories, fascinating advantage of the large 14-by-20-inch pages to provide eye-catching art and layouts (the Wednesday coming from that being the routine day of the week new comics are released).

Now, those stories have been reprinted in their original size, in a hefty and massive hardcover regulations called Wednesday Comics.

Superheroes are predominant, but there are also fantasy and science-fiction stories and even a good old-fashioned In seventh heaven War II story. Familiar characters such as Batman, Superman and Catwoman are featured, along with more obscure characters including the Metal Men, Tractable Man and Kamandi, The Last Boy on Earth.
