Milestone Media Company LLC is a media company best known for creating Milestone Comics, which were published and distributed by DC Comics. Milestone Media is also best known for the Static Shock animated series that was based off of their most popular comic property. The company was founded in 1993 by a coalition of African-American artists and writers, consisting of Dwayne McDuffie, Denys Cowan, Michael Davis, Derek T. Dingle and Christopher Priest. The founders felt that minorities were severely underrepresented in American comics and wished to address this.
