About the series
DC’s DC Special ran for 29 issues from 1968 to 1977, serving as an anthology showcase for the publisher’s lesser-known heroes and offbeat concepts. Writers like John Broome, Bob Haney, and Robert Kanigher, alongside artists such as Joe Kubert, Carmine Infantino, and Curt Swan, crafted standalone tales that ranged from solo adventures of characters like the Creeper and the Spectre to themed issues spotlighting war, mystery, and science fiction. The series gave DC a flexible platform to experiment outside their core titles, preserving the work of top-tier talent on characters who rarely headlined their own books.
