Silver Age: Dial H for Hero

In 2000, DC Comics revived the classic "Dial H for Hero" concept with a single prestige-format issue by writer Mark Waid and artist Barry Kitson. This one-shot reimagines the premise for a new era, as a young boy discovers a mysterious dial that transforms him into a different superhero with each use. Waid and Kitson’s collaboration delivers a thoughtful, character-driven take on the power of imagination and the nature of heroism, making this a noteworthy entry in the long-running franchise.
