DC is expanding the Black Label roster with the addition of several classic stories, including Watchmen, The Killing Joke, All-Star Superman, and much more.

DC launched the Black Label imprint earlier this year to house high profile stories that happen outside the current continuity (see "DC Launches Imprint for High Profile Stand-Alone Stories"), and the publisher began the rebranding of reprints with All-Star Superman by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely (see “DC Begins Rebranding Old Material as Black Label”).
