An In Depth Look at Silver Age Classics Featuring Iconic DC Characters Including Superman, Flash, Green Lantern & More in November 2026
Today Skybound, in partnership with Scott Dunbier’s Act 4 Publishing, announced the upcoming release of DC Silver Age Covers and Stories Artist’s Edition. Mark Waid, noted comics writer and historian, supplies a thoughtful introduction to this one-of-a-kind look at artwork from DC Comics’ Silver Age that redefined Superman, The Flash, Green Lantern, and more. This gorgeous, gigantic Artist’s Edition measures 15” x 22” and arrives in comic shops on November 4, 2026.
Dive into some of DC Comics’ finest covers and stories from the Silver Age, all drawn in the old “twice-up” size, in this massive Artist’s Edition. Featuring all the interior pages from beloved comics like the 1960s Green Lantern #1, complete stories from The Flash by Carmine Infantino, Superman by Al Plastino from Action Comics #282, Sugar and Spike by Sheldon Mayer, and even more Silver Age treasures.
DC Silver Age Covers and Stories Artist’s Edition delivers a stunning look at the era that reshaped comics, featuring over 75 classic covers and iconic artwork by legendary creators like Jack Kirby, Joe Kubert, Carmine Infantino, Curt Swan, Alex Toth, Nick Cardy, and more. This volume includes truly legendary covers, such as Flash #123 (the first ever appearance of Earth-Two) by Carmine Infantino, to the debut of the Silver Age Hawkman in Brave and the Bold #34 by Joe Kubert, the cover of Showcase #17 by Gil Kane that features the very first appearance of Adam Strange, and the unforgettable Flash vs. Superman race from Superman #199 by Infantino. This collection captures some of the most important and influential moments in DC history.
“As an unabashed DC kid, this book is a thrill for me to put together,” said Scott Dunbier. “So many great artists are represented here, and so many absolutely prime covers, stories, and pages. I can’t wait to crack it open!”
An Artist’s Edition is an art book disguised as a comic collection. Although appearing to be in black and white, all the art is scanned in color, enabling the reader to see the work as close to the original as possible – ink gradients, blue pencil, and all the unique nuances that make original art so special – are all clearly visible and printed at the same size as drawn. The only better way to experience these pages is by looking at the artist’s drawing board, as they’re drawing.
“This book captures the breadth of the amazing work from the Silver Age,” said Senior Editor Nachie Marsham. “Some of the most foundational moments and visuals in comics can be found in this Artist’s Edition. It’s a real visual feast.”
DC Silver Age Covers and Stories Artist’s Edition is the latest chapter of the groundbreaking releases from the Act 4 Publishing and Skybound partnership. Additional upcoming 2026 titles include Darwyn Cooke’s The Complete Spirit Connoisseur Edition, Wally Wood’s EC Stories Artist’s Edition- EXPANDED, Mike Mignola’s Hellboy in Hell Book 2 Artist’s Edition, The Amazing Spider-Man by Steve Ditko Artist’s Edition, George Pérez’s The New Teen Titans Artist’s Edition, Doctor Strange by Paul Smith Artist’s Edition, and Jason Pearson’s Body Bags Artist’s Edition.
