About the series
A 27-issue series of oversized, squarebound specials from DC, DC Special Series (1977–1981) showcased top-tier talent like Len Wein, Curt Swan, and Bernie Wrightson on standalone stories and themed one-shots. The series ranged from a Swamp Thing epic pitting Alec Holland against Anton Arcane to Batman and Clark Kent adventures, often written by Robert Kanigher and E. Nelson Bridwell. It served as a showcase for DC's biggest characters in prestige-format tales, bridging the gap between standard monthly comics and the company's more experimental projects of the era.
