Scott Dunbier’s Act 4 Publishing, in collaboration with Skybound, shared a first look at DC Silver Age Covers and Stories Artist’s Edition. This new Artist’s Edition gives readers a chance to experience the original artwork behind some of the most influential comics ever published, and features an introduction by comics writer and historian Mark Waid. This oversized hardcover collects artwork from DC’s Silver Age that helped redefine characters including Superman, The Flash, Green Lantern, and more, arriving in comic shops on November 4, 2026. 

Presented in a 15″ × 22″ hardcover format, this remarkable collection showcases original art from DC’s Silver Age, all drawn in the classic “twice-up” size. It features a complete set of interior pages from beloved comics like 1960’s Green Lantern #1 by Gil Kane, The Flash #146 by Carmine Infantino, Superman by Al Plastino from Action Comics #282, Sugar and Spike by Sheldon Mayer, and additional Silver Age treasures.  

DC Silver Age Covers and Stories Artist’s Edition also includes more than 60 classic covers showcasing legendary creators Joe Kubert, Carmine Infantino, Curt Swan, Nick Cardy, Murphy Anderson, and Gil Kane. Among the highlights are the cover to The Flash #123 featuring the first appearance of Earth-Two, the debut of the Silver Age Hawkman in The Brave and the Bold #34, the first appearance of Adam Strange on the cover of Showcase #17, and the unforgettable Flash vs. Superman race from Superman #199.  

Additional pages and splashes by Ross Andru, Ramona Fradon, Russ Heath, Jack Kirby, Jim Mooney, Mike Sekowsky, and Alex Toth further highlight the artistry of the Silver Age of comic book publishing. Together, these stories and covers capture some of the most influential and enduring moments in DC’s history. 

Although Artist’s Editions appear to be in black and white, the art is scanned in full 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 clearly visible and reproduced at the same size as originally drawn. The only better way to experience these pages would be to look over the artist’s shoulder at the drawing board. 

DC Silver Age Covers and Stories Artist’s Edition (ISBN: 978-1-5343-3140-2 | SRP $195.00 US) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, and at booksellers on Tuesday, December 1, 2026.
