DC will release its entire digitized library of Golden, Silver and Bronze Age comics, totaling nearly 3000 issues, to the comic reader app on DC Universe this week. It's not the entirety of their publishing output form those periods, but it is all they have already digitized, and more will be added as they digitize them. It is a test run for the system to see how it handles the stress before they release the entirety of their digitized library up through the (near) present soon.

Here's a list of what will be available this week...

(there's some typos on the list I believe, and I think this is in addition to what is already available form those eras on the service which accounts for some weird omissions on the list (like Aquaman #1).

It will certainly be fun exploring some of this stuff through the spring and summer.
