Australian DC Comics Reprint Gallery

This website is dedicated to documenting the DC Comic reprints published in Australia from the late 1940s to the 1980s.

Australian access to original US comics was limited until the 1980s,resulting in a relatively strong local comic industry, including reprints.

From 1947 until 1983, DC comics were reprinted by KG Murray Publishing Company/Murray Publishers Pty Ltd under a range of imprints— Colour Comics, Planet Comics and finally Murray Comics. Between 1983 and 1986, the Federal Publishing Company Pty Ltd released reprints as Federal Comics and finally Australian Edition DC. Read more about the reprints' history here.

Exact publication dates are uncertain because few of these reprints were dated. I have estimated "on sale" dates based on available information, including library references, advertising codes, cover prices, and trade dress. Read my assumptions and guidelines here.
