In the mid 1980's DC comics realized that their entire history had become too big to handle. So Marv Wolfman and George Perez took care of that with Crisis on Infinite Earths. The mini-series took all of the mulitiple universes that DC created and merged them into one. In 1998 DC merged the 12 issue series into a hardcover book with a wrap around cover by Geroge Perez and Alex Ross.
DC also produced a poster of the wrap-around dustjacket. In order to showcase all the fantastic detail in the painting, they had to make the poster oversized - 5 feet 5 inches wide by 2 feet 5 inches high. You can find a guide-map of all the characters over at the Annotated Crisis on Infinite Earths web site.
One of my favorites from DC, Plastic Man, had an all too brief appearance in issue #5. You can see him on the over in the lower right hand corner. Plas was also on the hardback cover and the poster as you can see here
Thanks to Firestorm Fan I am able to take place in this blog crossover. In honor of that fact and since I am a fan of Firestorm myself I want to thank him for asking for my contribution to this effort.
