DC Comics Presents Pin-Up by George Pérez

DC Comics Presents was modelled after The Brave & the Bold, which is largely remembered for being the Batman team-up book. As the Superman team-up book, DCCP had some great stories in it. It also had some clunkers and from my point of view it was the ever-changing creative teams that worked on DCCP that gave it its up and down feel, while B&B had the creative team of writer Bob Haney and artist Jim Aparo to keep the book’s feel consistent.

Still, DCCP was an entertaining read spanning the years 1978–86, and it was cancelled as part of the line-wide reset that Crisis on Infinite Earths ushered in. In No. 38, this pin-up by George Pérez celebrated Superman and his co-stars from the first 36 issues of the mag.
