Sorcerers' World, also known as Zerox is a fictional planet, a comic book location appearing in titles published by DC Comics. Sorcerers' World first appeared as Zerox, the Sorcerers' Planet, in Action Comics vol. 1 #301 (June 1963), and was created by Leo Dorfman and Jim Mooney. It was reintroduced as Zerox, the Sorcerers' World, in Adventure Comics vol. 1 #369 (June 1968), by Jim Shooter and Curt Swan.

There have been many versions of Sorcerers' World over the years. In Post-Crisis DC continuity, Gemworld later became the Sorcerers' World. In Legion of Super-Heroes (vol. 4) #3 the Sorcerers' World was destroyed and its refugees resettled on the planet Tharn. In the current version as seen in Action Comics #886, Sorcerers' World is both a planet and a dimension which is the center and source of all magic.

As explained in Action Comics #301, centuries ago, the ancestors of the current inhabitants of Zerox were persecuted on Earth as witches and warlocks, so they decided to leave Earth. Using black magic, they migrated through space, taking with them the last of several mythological creatures, and settled on Zerox, where magic and sorcery are commonplace.

Zerox is ruled by Prince Endor, who once befriended Superman. Since Zerox is under a red sun, Superman once traveled there in a space-suit, and Prince Endor helpfully transported him back to Earth instantaneously through magic. Later, Superman sends Supergirl and Comet the Super-Horse there on a mission, where they save Prince Endor's rule from being overthrown by the plotting of his nephew Lord Nomed, who is next in line to the throne. A grateful Prince Endor grants Comet his fondest wish, which is to become a man, and occurs whenever a comet passes in the vicinity of Earth. In the Post-Crisis DC Universe, the established pre-30th century history of Zerox is ignored, and Sorcerers' World is instead amalgamated with Gemworld.
