DC Chronicles

The DC Chronicles is a line of trade paperbacks, chronologically reprinting the earliest stories (based on publication dates) starring some of the best-known DC Comics superheroes.

Stories are reprinted in color with no ads, providing readers access to original Golden and Silver Age comic book stories which had previously been reprinted in the ''DC Archive Editions'' format. The volumes were priced significantly lower than the ''Archives'' series in order to be more affordable for the reader, with each one typically priced at $14.99 USD.

The final volumes were released in 2013. Since then, DC has been re-publishing these stories in the same chronological format in the bigger ''DC Omnibus'' series. Each Age era Omnibus volume is also published as two or three (depending on page count) trade paperbacks.
