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

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.

The only better way to experience these pages is by looking at the artist’s drawing board, as they’re drawing.

Invincible comes to UniVersus in 2027 and goes Bigger!

UVS Games

Earlier this year, Skybound announced its partnership with UVS Games to bring the Invincible comic license to UniVersus, with initial plans for the product to launch as a preconstructed deck.

UVS Games is providing an important update: Invincible will now release as a full booster set in 2027. Yes, they’re going bigger!

Since the original announcement, the response from both the UniVersus community and Invincible fans has been strong and consistent. As development continued, it became clear that expanding the release would better reflect the scope of the series and the expectations surrounding it. In alignment with Skybound, the product has evolved into a booster set to allow for a broader representation of the franchise.

As a booster release, Invincible will provide the opportunity to showcase a significantly wider range of heroes and villains from the series. Expanding beyond a single preconstructed deck ensures the set can more fully represent the depth of the property within UniVersus.

The new expanded releases will not just feature the headline characters, but deep cuts and defining moments.

Additional details — including release timing, prerelease information, and product configuration — will be shared as development progresses.
