About the series
In the late 1980s, DC's Secret Origins Annual offered three oversized issues that expanded the backstories of key characters, with art from luminaries like Carmine Infantino and Dave Cockrum. Each installment revisited the formative years of figures such as Clark Kent, Dick Grayson, and the Teen Titans' Garfield Logan and Koriand'r, weaving fresh details into their classic origins. Though brief, this annual series stands as a thoughtful capstone to DC's mid-decade effort to modernize and deepen its mythos for a new generation of readers.
