DC Silver Age Covers and Stories Artist’s Edition from Skybound and Act 4 Publishing arrives in November

Posted on by

Skybound and Scott Dunbier’s Act 4 Publishing have announced 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.  

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.   

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

Baltimore Comic-Con Brings the Classics to Charm City

BALTIMORE, MARYLAND – May 10, 2011 – They say that a classic never goes out of style and that statement couldn’t be truer of the creators just added to the line-up of this year’s show! We are proud to announce the addition of Nick Cardy, Jose-Luis Garcia-Lopez, Kevin Nowlan, and Michael Golden to the growing guest list for the 12thannual Baltimore Comic-Con, taking place August 20-21, 2011.

EVAINK_CARDY_ARTISTWAR_CVR_fpoNick Cardy is best known for his work on such DC Comics books as Aquaman and Teen Titans. His artwork has been featured in nearly every comic genre, including western, jungle, crime, super-hero, romance, science fiction, humor and horror. Most recently, Cardy’s work was featured in the book Nick Cardy: The Art of War, a lavish, full-color volume that highlights the sketches and illustrations he made while serving in Europe during World War II.

Next up, we’ve got Jose-Luis Garcia-Lopez, who, in 2009, penciled an arc of DC’s Batman Confidential with Kevin Nowlan providing inks for the 3-issue story. Garcia-Lopez began working for Charlton Comics during the 1960s. After meeting editor Joe Orlando, he quickly moved over to DC where he has spent most of his long career. He also recently worked on the Metal Men strip featured in DC’s Wednesday Comics.

Nowlan, who is a true master of various comic disciplines, has worked in comics as a penciler, an inker, a colorist, and a letterer. His work has graced pages featuring characters such as Superman, Doctor Strange, Moon Knight, and Man-Thing. He was featured in TwoMorrows Publishing’s Modern Masters, a series which celebrates that lives and work of today’s greatest artists, in 2004.

Finally, Michael Golden returns to the Baltimore Comic-Con for another year. Having worked on dozens of books in his 30+ year career, Golden is the co-creator of both Marvel Comics’ Rogue and Continuity Comics’ Bucky O’Hare.

“We are so excited to be adding these four creators to our guest list,” said Marc Nathan, show promoter for the Baltimore Comic-Con. “Their work in the world of comics inspired an entire generation of artists. They are legends in every sense of the word and truly put the ‘class’ in classic.”
