DC Black Label (also referred to simply as Black Label) is an imprint of American comic book publisher DC Comics consisting of original miniseries and reprints of books previously published under other imprints.

The imprint intends to present traditional DC Universe characters for a mature audience with stand-alone Prestige Format series.

If a comic book series exceeds a miniseries run length, it will be published in standard format.

Black Label is designed for writers and artists to create more adult oriented/"edgy" stories, without having to follow the rules of continuity and age ratings.

Continuations of Vertigo series are published under the Black Label line, such as Sweet Tooth: The Return and Fables #151 - 162.

In the third category are stories which happen with the DCU but aren't taking place with the monthly books that DC publishes, but, like The Killing Joke, might have an impact on it if the writer choose so.
