 Heese's figures are questioned by other researchers, however, and especially the non-white component quoted by Heese is very much in doubt.

DC Comics 
 DC was formed by the merging of "National Allied Publications" and "Detective Comics Inc", as well as the affiliated "All-American Publications".
DC Comics 
 Despite being officially known as "National Comics", the comic covers carried a "DC" logo and were referred to as a result of its nickname: "DC Comics".
DC Comics 
 People had nicknamed it "DC" because of one its most popular comic series; Detective Comics and thus was born one of the world's most recognizable comic book brandings along with rivals Marvel publishing.
DC Comics 
 The company did not officially change its name to DC Comics however, until 1977 during the presidency of Jenette Kahn.
DC Comics

 In 1938, National launched Action Comics, which featured the brand new character from regular contributors Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, Superman.

DC Comics 
 With the establishment of DC as one of the major comic book companies and with many of the most marketable names in the early years of comics, it is sometimes considered the main company that other companies had to compete with.
DC Comics 
 Companies tried different approaches, One that succeeded and often outsold DC for instance was Fawcett Publications who had a character who some consider similar to Superman who was an all-powerful hero with a supporting "family" known as Captain Marvel and the Marvel Family, whereas other companies such as Charlton Comics created entire new worlds preventing DC from attacking them with lawsuits.
DC Comics 
 Further along in the Silver Age many of these companies failed or like Fawcett were sued out of existence.
DC Comics 
 Thus although they had once been competitors, many of the soon public domain properties of Fawcett and Charlton were eventually revived and trademarked and seemingly taken under DC's control.
DC Comics 
 During the post-War years, the popularity of superheroes had declined almost completely, though DC and other publishers were still going strong moving into other genres such as funny animals, romance, Sci-Fi, Westerns and horror.
DC Comics 
 Major characters such as Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman has managed to remain in publication and by the mid-1950s the superhero was again due for a comeback.
DC Comics 
 Showcase #4 in 1956 introduced readers to Barry Allen, the all-new Flash re-imagined with a sleeker design and steeped much heavier in science fiction (and the older Golden Age heroes being relegated to existing on Earth Two).
DC Comics 
 Characters such as The Atom, Green Lantern and the JSA, now reinvented as the Justice League of America soon followed and a new superhero boom was kicked off.
DC Comics 
 During this time, The Comics Code Authority has also come into play, which drastically subdued the content available in the comic book medium.
DC Comics 
 With the reinvigoration of Marvel in the 1960s under the leadership of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, DC found itself a new and more potent competitor.
DC Comics 
 Marvel succeeded by breaking what had become by then generic archetypes of superheroes by introducing characters which were younger and more flawed (and thus appeared more human and appealed to a younger crowd in a more direct manner.)
DC Comics 
 After falling behind Marvel in sales, DC was finally forced to adopt much of the same system which Marvel had, by introducing such young teams as the Teen Titans to compete with the X-Men.
DC Comics 
 In 1985, DC Comics decided its 50 years of continuity and numerous alternative Earths had become too messy and was in need of new blank slate.
DC Comics

DC Comics 
 Following this, Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman were given new leases of life thanks to big name creators such as John Byrne, Frank Miller and George Perez that redefined the elderly heroes for a new generation.
DC Comics 
 During this same period, the comic audience has begun to grow up and the direct market for comic stores had opened allowing a wider variety of publications to be experimented with.
DC Comics 
 One such experiment involved bringing in British writer Alan Moore to pen the low selling Saga of the Swamp Thing series.
DC Comics 
 What resulted was style of comic book not experienced before by mainstream readers in its literary and story driven complexity and execution.
DC Comics 
 Before long, other writers from across the pond such as Neil Gaiman, Peter Milligan and Grant Morrison were recruited to revamp obscure properties and tell new and interesting stories with an older audience in mind.

DC Comics 
 In 1993, senior editor Karen Berger convinced DC to make her own imprint for mature readers named Vertigo, similar to DC imprints Piranha Press and Paradox Press as well as Marvel's Epic Comics.
DC Comics 
 Using popular titles such as Animal Man, Swamp Thing, Hellblazer, The Sandman and Shade, The Changing Man as its blueprint along side new creator owned material, DC/Vertigo became a hub for intelligent and acclaimed comic books.
DC Comics 
 While rival Marvel Comics continued to dominate the publishing arena with their exceedingly popular properties, DC/Vertigo became the destination for literary and inventive titles during the period.
DC Comics 
 In 1999, DC purchased Jim Lee's WildStorm Productions, formerly one of the founding studios of Image.

DC Comics 
 In 2011, after a period of declining comic sales, DC announced they were cancelling all the main titles and starting over with all New 52's as part of a relaunch.
DC Comics 
 this was done partially to revitalize the company and to de-age the characters and thus make them more dynamic.
DC Comics 
 On January 12, 2012, it was announced that there would be a second wave of the new 52 where six titles would be getting canceled with another six to replace them, though the plan to stay at 52 ongoing monthlies seems to be consistent.
DC Comics 
 One book in the Third Wave, Talon, starring Calvin Rose was the first solo book for a character who was introduced in the New 52.
DC Comics 
 The Fourth wave started in January 2013 and ended in March 2013, meaning that it was the first wave not to come out in a single month.

 If a country has behaved in a way seen as bad, the member countries of UNSC can make a ruling, known as a United Nations Security Council Resolution.
United Nations Security Council 
 All five of the permanent member countries must either agree to this ruling or at least not vote against it; if any of them do, it is said to have been "vetoed" and does not come into effect.
United Nations Security Council 
 This Resolution may call for UN members to take certain actions to punish the country, called "sanctions".
United Nations Security Council 
 An example is that the UNSC had long banned all imports of nuclear fuel to Iran as they felt Iran was going to make nuclear weapons.
United Nations Security Council 
 These sanctions resulted in rules which made it much harder for Iran to do business with people in the rest of the world.
United Nations Security Council 
 Most people think that is why Iran was willing to promise to change how it used nuclear material in order to end these rules.
United Nations Security Council 
 The Permanent Members of the Security Council worked together in ending this problem; Germany has also conferenced with the permanent UN Security Council members about this issue.
United Nations Security Council 
 For members of the UN to engage in war or major military activity against another country or a large armed group outside of their own country they are supposed to have the agreement of the Security Council to do so but recent history shows that this rule is often not closely followed by everyone.
United Nations Security Council 
 All members of the UN retain the right to "self-defense"; they can engage in actions to defend their people and land whenever this becomes necessary but are then expected to refer the matter to the Security Council as soon as they can.
