Intercompany crossover

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

In comic books, an intercompany crossover (also called cross-company, or simply company crossover) is a comic or series of comics where a character (or group of characters) published by one company meets a character published by another (for example, DC Comics' Superman meeting Marvel's Spider-Man). These usually, but not exclusively, occur within special "one-shot" issues or a miniseries.

Crossovers may be considered canon, but many times they are seen as being outside of a character's continuity. They can be a joke or gag, a dream sequence, or even a "what if" scenario (such as DC's Elseworlds).

Below is a list of intercompany crossovers by date released.

[edit] Published crossovers

[edit] Golden and Silver Ages

  • All Star Comics #3 (Winter 1940/41)
The Justice Society of America was created in this issue, combining National Comics' Doctor Fate, Hour-Man (as it was then spelled), the Spectre, and the Sandman, and All-American Publications' the Atom, the Flash, Green Lantern, and Hawkman. DC and All-American were at the time affilliated companies.
  • Unauthorized parody crossovers occurred in "Tijuana bibles", pornographic underground publications that ignored copyright to produce stories of sexual encounters featuring both real-life celebrities and popular comic strip and comic book characters. One such story, for example, depicted an encounter between Captain America and Wonder Woman.<ref>Feiffer, Jules. The Great Comic Book Heroes (Dial Press, New York, 1965; reprinted, with material expurgated, Fantagraphics Books, Seattle, Wash., 2003; ISBN 1-560-97501-6). Recollection per essay by Mordecai Richler.
