Dial H is aDC Comicssuperhero title launched in 2012 as part of the second wave ofThe New 52. It is a contemporary, frequently humorous take on theSilver Age titleDial H for Hero. It was written by novelistChina Miéville, featuring artwork primarily by Mateus Santolouco and Alberto Ponticelli withBrian Bolland as the cover artist.[1][2]
The comic tells of an out-of-shape man named Nelson Jent discovering that dialing H-E-R-O at a mysterious phone booth will transform him into unique, though short-lived, superheroes. Each time creates a new persona with a new set of powers, eventually returning him to his normal self.[3]
DC Comics cancelled the title, concluding with issue #15 in August 2013.[4] An epilogue issue titledJustice League #23.3 Dial E was released as part ofVillains Month initiative.[5][6]
