Legends of the Ledger:

In the early 1930s, the comic book industry was a burgeoning field, characterized by a mix of newspaper strips, pulp magazines, and illustrated stories. This environment set the stage for what would become DC Comics, originally known as National Allied Publications. Founded in 1934 by Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson, the company initially published a series of pulp magazines. Wheeler-Nicholson's vision of combining text and art to create compelling narratives laid the groundwork for the comic book format that would soon captivate audiences.
