The company was originally called National Periodical Publications (and credited as such in early animation projects, including some of the early Superfriends series). the DC imprint first saw use in 1940, and became the company's official name in the 1970s. The initials "DC" are an abbreviation for Detective Comics, after one of the company's flagship titles (which, most famously, was the title in which Batman made his first appearance). DC Comics is now located in New York City.
