  • In 1992, Chuck Dixon had just begun his run as writer of Detective Comics, the oldest title of DC Comics, on issue 644. After his first three-issue arc, he created the character of Stephanie Brown as the daughter of the older Batman villain Cluemaster. The rest, as they say, is history.
  • Detective Comics is published by DC Comics. The current price per issue is $2.99.
  • The third and final title published under his aegis would be Detective Comics, advertised with a cover illustration dated December 1936, but eventually premiering three months later, with a March 1937 cover date. Wheeler-Nicholson was in debt to printing-plant owner and magazine distributor Harry Donenfeld, who was as well a pulp-magazine publisher and a principal in the magazine distributorship Independent News. Wheeler-Nicholson took Donenfeld on as a partner in order to publish Detective Comics #1 through the newly formed Detective Comics, Inc., with Wheeler-Nicholson and Jack S. Liebowitz, Donenfeld's accountant, listed as owners. Wheeler-Nicholson was forced out a year later.
