About the series
From 1981, DC Comics released a trio of oversized issues under the Lionel Playworld Super Heroes Comics banner, a promotional series tied to the Lionel Playworld toy store chain. Each issue featured classic DC superheroes in all-new stories, with the line notable for its large format and newsprint pages, designed to be sold exclusively through the toy retailer. While the run was brief, it stands as a unique example of early-80s corporate tie-in publishing, bringing characters like Superman and Batman directly into the toy aisle.
