THE OTHER<br />
HISTORY<br />

UNIVERSE # 1<br />

Academy Award-winning screenwriter<br />
John Ridley (12 Years a Slave, Let It Fall)<br />
examines the mythology of the <strong>DC</strong><br />
Universe in this compelling new miniseries<br />
that reframes iconic moments of <strong>DC</strong><br />
history and charts a previously unexplored<br />
sociopolitical thread as seen through the<br />
prism of <strong>DC</strong> Super Heroes who come from<br />
traditionally disenfranchised groups.<br />
This unique new series presents its<br />
story as prose by Ridley married with<br />
beautifully realized color illustrations from<br />
a selection of exciting illustrators and<br />
comics artists. Alex Dos Diaz provides art<br />
for #1, which follows the story of Jefferson<br />
Pierce, the man who will one day become<br />
Black Lightning, as he makes his way from<br />
being a young track star to a teacher and,<br />
ultimately, to his role as a hero.<br />
Future issues focus on characters such<br />
as Karen and Mal Duncan, Tatsu Yamashiro<br />
and Renee Montoya.<br />
Extensively researched and masterfully<br />
executed, THE OTHER HISTORY OF THE<br />
<strong>DC</strong> UNIVERSE promises to be an experience<br />
unlike any other. You may think you<br />
know the history of the <strong>DC</strong> Universe…but<br />
the truth is far more complex. THE OTHER<br />
HISTORY OF THE <strong>DC</strong> UNIVERSE isn’t about<br />
saving the world—it’s about having the<br />
strength to simply be who you are.<br />
