Showcase

    (DC, 1956-1970, 1977-1978)
™ and ©1978 DC Comics, Inc.

As the name implies, Showcase was an anthology series to spotlight various DC creations. Although many such titles are enjoyable reads, they usually have little importance in the larger view of the comics universe. Showcase is an exception to that rule. In issue #4, it introduced readers to Barry Allen, the Silver Age Flash. Four issues later, it gave us the fantastic first appearance of the Challengers of the Unknown.

Later issues would keep up the pace, bringing forth the first appearances of Anthro, Adam Strange, the Silver Age Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), the Silver Age Atom (Ray Palmer), Hawk and Dove, the Creeper, Rip Hunter…Time Master, the Sea Devils, and many others.

Having run for fourteen years between 1956 and 1970, the series came to an end with issue #93. It was later revived in 1977, running until issue #104.
