The term DC, referring to National Periodicals, originally came from
Detective Comics, their first publication.  It has since been used to
stand for all sorts of things -- Dollar Comics, for example -- I'll
have to go home and look some of them up.

I don't know whether National Periodicals existed when DC started, or
whether it later bought the original company out.
