Publication history

[edit]

Shannon Appelcline noted that although Mayfair was closing down their other role-playing lines by 1993, "It looked like DC Heroes might continue, as it was reaching a new creative high in its final years. Swamp Thing (1991), Magic (1992) and Who's Who in the DC Universe 2 (1992) all covered new ground for the game by detailing people and places that were then gelling into DC's new Vertigo universe (1993)."[2]: 169 

Reception

[edit]

Gene Alloway reviewed Who's Who in the DC Universe I, II, and III in White Wolf #37 (July/Aug., 1993), rating it a 4 out of 5 and stated that "Who's Who in the DC Universe is a worthy addition to the DC Heroes line of products. Covering virtually every object and character of any note in the DC Universe, it should provide characters and GM's with a great cast book for characters, or to at least get ideas for new characters. I highly recommend this Mayfair series to all DC Heroes and any DC Comics fan who wants a great resource."[1]
