DC Comics Graphic Novel Collection

DC Comics Graphic Novel Collection was a fortnightly partwork magazine published by Eaglemoss Collections and DC Comics in the UK. The series was a collection of special edition hardback graphic novels, collecting significant DC Comics superhero story-arcs as well as bonus origin stories for the characters within.

Overview

The debut issue, Batman: Hush Part 1, was released on 19 August 2015 at the special price of £2.99. The price gradually rose to £9.99 per issue, then £10.99 from issue #37[1] and £11.99 from issue #107. The initial series of 60 issues was extended to 100 issues, and then to 180.

Eaglemoss no longer offers new subscriptions to this collection.[2]

Similar collections had been released in countries like France[3], Germany, Brazil, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary and Spain but with a different order and contents. A small local test run was also run in select parts of the UK, similar to what happens with most partworks. The German language version of the Collection ended with a total of 150 issues: most are the same as the UK series, but were released in a different order. In December 2020 an email was sent to subscribers to confirm the collection has been extended to 180 issues.

Eaglemoss launched a companion partwork DC Comics The Legend Of Batman in December 2017.

Hachette Partworks launched their own series of hardcover graphic novels, DC Heroes and Villains Collection in January 2021.[4][5]

Eaglemoss announced they were bankrupt on 11 July 2022, the Webshop is no longer accessible and to date there have been no new subscription deliveries since Issue 170 - 172 in December 2021.[6]

The Subscription Account Website is now no longer operating as of w/c 12 September 2022.
