DC Who’s Who Omnibus (Vol 1) Release Date?

From December 1984 to April 1987 DC Who’s Who was featured in a 26 issue run. The creative minds behind DC Who’s Who were Len Wein, Marv Wolfman, and Robert Greenberger. Together they created a comprehensive directory of both DC’s hero’s and villain’s alike. You may be wondering why should I care about a compilation of mid-1980’s DC character backstories now? I believe there are 4 reasons you should care if you are a DC fan:

Whos Who DC comics value history. You will gain insight into how characters were perceived during that time.
The 26-issue run happened during the start of Crisis on Infinite Earths. You will get a mix of both Pre-Crisis and Post-crisis versions of Characters. (Superman and Wonder Woman were rebooted so their Silver Age histories will be absent Post-Crisis)
DC Comics Whos Who 1985 was their response to Marvel’s character directory Handbook of the Marvel Universe.
If you are a completionist and are missing the DC Whos Who Update 87 the omnibus will include the five issues featuring updated characters and an appendix from that era. Also includes Who’s Who Update 88, a four issue run with further updates.

These are just a few of the reasons you would want to consider this omnibus if you are a die-hard DC fan. The DC Who’s Who omnibus contains much more that what I listed above. In terms of nomenclature each of the 26 issues was categorized by DC as its own volume and the characters were alphabetized. Here is a breakdown of the 26 volumes:
