DC celebrates 50 years of Black Lightning with DC Power: Black Lightning 50th Anniversary Special in January

Posted on by Leave a comment

For 50 years, Jefferson Pierce has been a father, an educator, a leader, and the electrifying hero known as Black Lightning. This January, DC celebrates five decades of Black Lightning with DC Power: Black Lightning 50th Anniversary Special, a 48-page one-shot bringing together creators from across comics to honor Jefferson Pierce’s enduring legacy while continuing his story in the DC Universe.

On sale January 27, 2027, DC Power: Black Lightning 50th Anniversary Special will feature a main story by Jenny Isabella, Brandon Thomas, and Fico Ossio, with more Black Lightning stories by writers Danny Lore, Greg Anderson Elysée, and Al Letson and artists Karen S. Darboe, Darryl Banks, and Sedat Özgen.

In the main story, the celebration finds Black Lightning entrusted with protecting Metropolis while Superman is away. But as an old enemy plots his demise from the shadows, Jefferson will once again have to prove that protecting a community means more than simply winning the fight.

Jefferson Pierce has saved the world countless times, but with another battle for its fate looming on the horizon, does he still have time to repair his relationship with his ex-wife, Lynn Stewart? As Jefferson considers what comes next for the two of them, his responsibilities as Black Lightning continue to pull him in every direction.

The anniversary special also explores the many relationships that have defined Black Lightning across five decades, from family and old friends to fellow heroes throughout the DC Universe. Jefferson fights alongside the Outsiders, including Katana, the Signal, and Cassandra Cain; crosses paths with his daughters, Anissa and Jennifer; and joins Mr. Terrific and Steel as the special explores the responsibilities, relationships, and personal connections behind the hero. Black Lightning’s vision in DC K.O. also looms over the special, pushing Jefferson closer to a new role as mentor to a young hero.

DC Power: Black Lightning 50th Anniversary Special features a main cover by Edwin Galmon and Andrew Dalhouse, with variant covers by Fico Ossio and Tamra Bonvillain, Trevor Von Eeden and Chris Sotomayor, and a glow-in-the-dark variant cover by Cully Hamner. The 48-page one-shot will be available at participating comic book shops and digital retailers on January 27, 2027, for $5.99 US.
