A documentary chronicling the history of DC Comics is to debut at this year’s Comic-Con International. The project is helmed by the filmmakers behind the Oscar-nominated documentary “Spellbound”, that followed competitors in the 1999 Scripps National Spelling Bee. Mac Carter will direct with Sean Welch producing and Jeffrey Blitz executive producing.

Sean Welch said,

“DC Comics contacted us and asked if we would do this, Jeff and the director are comic book enthusiasts since they were kids and remain comic book enthusiasts. So yes, we have access to their archives, their material, their covers, their panels, the creatives and the executives in the DC world.”

It was also confirmed that the venture will be a full-length piece and arrive on DVD following its Comic-Con premiere. The film’s release will coincide with DC’s 75th anniversary as a comic book publisher.
