“We’ve had a great year overall for our hardcover publishing, said John Cunningham, DC Entertainment v-p of marketing, speaking to PW during a conference call along with Bob Wayne, DC Entertainment senior v-p of sales. Cunningham pointed out Bill Willingham’s Fables: Werewolves of the Heartland and Fables: Fairest, Denise Mina’s graphic adaptation of Steig Larsson’s Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and DC’s Earth One series, updated origin stories of Batman and Superman, all released in hardcover and landing on the New York Times bestseller lists. Cunningham pointed out the Superman: Earth One, Vol. 2, on both the Publishers Weekly and New York Times bestseller lists, calling it a “linchpin release for next summer’s release of Man of Steel, the next blockbuster Superman movie, and a lot of tie-in marketing.”
