It was created in 1993 to publish stories with more graphic or adult content, which did not fit within the restrictions of the Comics Code Authority or DC's primary superhero brand, thus allowing more creative freedom.

Following a series of editorial restructurings in the 2010s, DC discontinued it in January 2020, instead publishing later "mature readers" work under the "DC" label.
