En los últimos tiempos DC Comics ha comenzado a reeditar de forma completa y sistemática las series de finales de los 80, los 90 y principios de los 2000, o sea, todas aquellas previas a la era actual, en la cual prácticamente todo se reedita. Hay muchas obras de ese periodo que no habían sido reeditadas, o solo parcialmente, por lo que solo estaban disponibles los comic-books. Por ejemplo, si un lector quería leer el Flash de Mark Waid, apenas había unos pocos trade paperbacks, y estos no recopilaban toda la etapa, solo las historias más relevantes.
Esto es en lo que se refiere a EE.UU., ya que, paradójicamente, en España muchos de estos cómics se publicaron directamente en forma de tomos, ya sea en tapa dura, tapa blanda, formato bolsillo... Siguiendo con el ejemplo, todo el Flash de Waid fue editado hace unos años en siete libros. En cambio, hay otros casos en los que no contamos con edición en tomo, pero tampoco en grapa. Y a esto hay que añadir aquellos de los que pudimos disfrutar de unos pocos episodios, como son Impulse, Superboy o Legionnaires.
El objetivo de esta entrada es listar todos los tomos recopilatorios publicados por DC en 2017 que están centrados en este periodo. En algunos casos, se trata de obras que empezaron en los 80 y terminaron en los 90, otras se lanzaron en los 90 y terminaron en los 2000... La idea es llamar la atención sobre todos estos cómics, facilitar el acceso a ellos, señalar las diferencias con las reediciones anteriores, indicar cómo complementan las ediciones españolas...
