I think it makes sense to have this article on DC Comics. The company appeared - or was referred to - in at least two stories. "The Last Earth Prime" story, with Julie Shwartz' and possibly the tale where Curt Swan meets Superman. -- [[User:Macduff|Macduff]] 22:42, 15 September 2007 (EDT) | I think it makes sense to have this article on DC Comics.
