When did it officially change its name to DC Comics?

The Golden Age section indicates that the name "DC Comics" was used colloquially for years before the official adoption of it as its name, but when was it officially adopted? I think that would be an important detail to mention in the article, so if anyone knows of a reliable source that pins that date down, it should go in.

The name was legally changed in 1976. I'll try to find a source for it. Mtminchi08 (talk) 17:34, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it was 1977 according to Bloomberg Businessweek as seen here. I've added this citation to the article.

Issue #1 renumbering

Does anyone know what all the 52 titles are that are getting changed to #1? Does it also include Detective and Action?
