"History of the DC Universe" is a two-issue comic book limited series created by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez, and published by DC Comics following the end of "Crisis on Infinite Earths". It was an attempt to summarize the new history of the DC Universe to establish what was canonical after "Crisis" reformed the multiverse into a single universe.
The loose plotline of the series involves the character Harbinger chronicling the past, present, and future of the post-"Crisis" DC Universe. The history is mostly told through one- and two-page splash pages, accompanied by brief prose. At the end of the series, Harbinger places the history in a capsule and launches it into space. In the subsequent series "Millennium", this history is intercepted by the Manhunters and used against Earth's superheroes.
The series was initially reprinted in hardcover by Graphitti Designs, and reprinted in paperback years later.
"History of the DCU"
After the events of "Infinite Crisis", DC included a backup story titled "History of the DCU" in "52", running issues #2–11. This version was written by Dan Jurgens.
In this version, Donna Troy, now in possession of Harbinger's orb, tells the story of the history of the DCU, up to "Infinite Crisis".
"History of the Multiverse"
The backup story, "History of the Multiverse", appears in issues 49-38 of "Countdown", as told from the perspective of the Monitors. It was written by Dan Jurgens.
