Act 4 Publishing & Skybound Announce DC Silver Age Covers and Stories Artist’s Edition

An In Depth Look at Silver Age Classics Featuring Iconic DC Characters Including Superman, Flash, Green Lantern & More in November 2026

31130824277?profile=RESIZE_400x31130824286?profile=RESIZE_400xLOS ANGELES 02/17/2026 — Today Skybound, in partnership with Scott Dunbier’s Act 4 Publishing, announced the upcoming release of 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. 

“As an unabashed DC kid, this book is a thrill for me to put together,” said Scott Dunbier. “So many great artists are represented here, and so many absolutely prime covers, stories, and pages. I can’t wait to crack it open!”

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.  

"This book captures the breadth of the amazing work from the Silver Age," said Senior Editor Nachie Marsham. "Some of the most foundational moments and visuals in comics can be found in this Artist’s Edition. It's a real visual feast."

DC Silver Age Covers and Stories Artist’s Edition is the latest chapter of the groundbreaking releases from the Act 4 Publishing and Skybound partnership. Additional upcoming 2026 titles include Darwyn Cooke’s The Complete Spirit Connoisseur Edition, Wally Wood's EC Stories Artist’s Edition- EXPANDED, Mike Mignola's Hellboy in Hell Book 2 Artist’s Edition, The Amazing Spider-Man by Steve Ditko Artist’s Edition, George Pérez’s The New Teen Titans Artist’s Edition, Doctor Strange by Paul Smith Artist’s Edition, and Jason Pearson’s Body Bags Artist’s Edition.

The heir to this esteemed Koi No Yu Bathhouse, Rihito Tatsuno, is a fifteen-year-old virgin—who is about to fall in love for the first time with a girl in his class! Ranmaru begins to weave a desperate plan to prevent Rihito from losing his virginity and to make him fall for Ranmaru instead, so the bloodsucker can eventually have pure, eighteen-year-old virgin blood for his own vampiric self!

    Forget-Me-Not

    31130823480?profile=RESIZE_400xStroll along the banks of the canals in beautiful Venice, Italy, and you’ll see the slacker—a young woman noodling on her guitar, pecking a bit at her laptop, and maybe getting a little reading in. But watch your step in this ancient town, because some of the other people you might run into—the ragged derelict, the drunken streetwalker, even that clean-cut gondolier—they’re all her, too! She’s Mariel Imari, of Italian and Japanese descent, whose skill at disguise comes from being part of a famous dynasty of detectives.

    But Mariel hasn’t yet cracked the one case that would allow her to inherit her grandfather’s estate—Forget-me-not, the painting stolen from the mansion 22 years ago, which she needs to recover as a condition of his will. You see, Mariel is brilliant, but Mariel is also a bit lazy and slovenly and bored…and about to be a bit embarrassed, too, when her sisters show up from Japan, under the impression that Mariel is rich! Will Mariel ever catch the master thief standing between her and an aristocratic lifestyle? Does she really want to?

    Created by mangaka Kenji Tsuruta (Emanon, Captain Momo’s Secret Base) with translation by Dana Lewis (Appleseed, Wandering Island) and lettering by Susie Lee (Oh My Goddess!, Emanon).

    DARK HORSE BOOKS PRESENTS THE COMPLETE NEMESIS COLLECTION LIBRARY EDITION

    The Complete Nemesis Collection Library Edition

    The latest Millarworld creation to be presented in oversized hardcover format

    31130823857?profile=RESIZE_400xMILWAUKIE, Ore. (March 4, 2026)—The world’s most evil comic book character is back and all his stories will be collected for the first time in Mark Millar’s The Complete Nemesis Collection Library Edition, arriving in November 2026 from Dark Horse Books. This hardcover edition collects all four volumes of the action-packed series written by Mark Millar (Huck: Big Bad World, Kingsman), illustrated by Jorge Jiménez, Pepe Larraz, Valerio Giangiordano, and Matteo Scalera, colored by Giovanna Niro and Lee Loughridge, and lettered by Clem Robins.

    About Nemesis:

    The first series had Nemesis back to avenge the cops who murdered his criminal parents when he was a kid. The second series had Nemesis facing off against every superhero in his world in the huge crossover event BIG GAME. The third series, NEMESIS: ROGUES’ GALLERY, has the world’s most evil man taking on a messed-up teen sidekick. But volume four is where it all goes crazy, and Nemesis teams up with an ancient occult secret society to subjugate the entire human race.

    The Complete Nemesis Collection Library Edition (hardcover, 416 pages, 8 × 12.1875”) will be available in bookstores and comic shops on November 10, 2026. It is now available for preorder at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your local comic shop or bookstore for $79.99.

    Praise for Nemesis:

    “Nemesis: Rogues’ Gallery #1 is vicious, violent, and a victory of storytelling and art. The man you love to hate is back and he’s taking no prisoners.”—Comicon.com

    “Mark Millar continues to spin a fun-filled story here with Nemesis and his new sidekick. I’m really enjoying seeing Nemesis begin to act as a mentor figure to his young ward. It’s pretty much the inverse of what Bruce Wayne was to Dick Grayson in the original Batman comics and therefore a great deal of fun to see.”—SciFi Pulse

    “It is an absolute coup that Millar joined forces with Jiménez because Nemesis is a stunning piece of art soaked in blood and depravity. Shocking, exciting, and exhilarating, but never boring.”—Lotusland Comics

    “Visually speaking, it's gorgeous, exciting, and at times stunning. Underneath the gorgeous art is a violent story Millarworld fans won't want to miss.”—AIPT Comics

     

    LEGENDARY SAGA RETURNS IN HIGHLANDER: THE ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY GRAPHIC NOVEL

    ORIGINAL VISION FROM WRITER GREGORY WIDEN BROUGHT TO LIFE IN LAVISH NEW ADAPTATION

    31130824057?profile=RESIZE_400xLondon, UK – March 4, 2026 – Titan Comics is proud to announce the release of Highlander: The Original Screenplay, a striking new graphic novel adaptation based on the original script by writer Gregory Widen, arriving in bookstores and comic shops on November 17, 2026.

    This lavishly illustrated volume (art by Szymon Kudranski) presents the immortal saga of Connor MacLeod as it was first imagined - long before it became a cult-defining cinematic classic. Spanning centuries of history, epic duels, and shadowed rivalries, Highlander: The Original Screenplay follows Connor’s journey across eras as he faces other immortals in a deadly contest for a mysterious and ultimate prize.

    Returning to the story's roots, the graphic novel offers fans a rare chance to experience Widen’s original narrative vision in full, capturing the mythic scale, tragic romance, and operatic violence that made Highlander a cultural touchstone.

    “I have been a fan of Highlander since what feels like the dawn of time, so it’s a genuine thrill to bring this story back as originally envisaged by the man who created it all, Gregory Widen,” said Jonathan Wilkins, the editor of Highlander: The Original Screenplay. “For the first time, readers will be able to experience this epic adventure set across the centuries. It’s been a genuine thrill to work with Gregory to discover the various avenues his story explored before filming began. So get ready to visit the blood-stained highlands of the mid-1500s and the seamy streets of New York of the early 1980s for a spectacular take on an immortal tale!”

    With dynamic artwork and a cinematic sense of scope, Highlander: The Original Screenplay stands as both a celebration of the franchise’s origins and a thrilling new entry point for readers discovering the immortal legend for the first time.

    Highlander: The Original Screenplay is on sale November 17, 2026! Pre-order it from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Forbidden Planet for the UK & Europe.

    DC ANNOUNCES NEW EARLY READER GRAPHIC NOVEL YOU’RE A SUPERHERO! BY WRITER AZIE TESFAI AND ARTIST PENELOPE RIVERA GAYLORD

    BURBANK, CA — February 11, 2026 — DC today announced You’re A Superhero!, a new early reader graphic novel from writer and actor Azie Tesfai and illustrator Penelope Rivera Gaylord, arriving November 3, 2026. Created for readers ages 5–7, this uplifting story introduces young fans to six-year-old Mariam, a girl who loves superheroes but is not sure she sees them in her everyday world until she discovers that heroism is all around her.

    31084172071?profile=RESIZE_400xIn You’re A Superhero!, Mariam wishes the heroes she sees on TV felt a little closer to home. But as she explores her neighborhood with her mom, she begins to notice the extraordinary people who make her community work: the building super who keeps everyone safe, the bus driver who knows every kid’s name, the electrician who brings light back to the block. Inspired by the real-life heroes around her, and by her super mom, Mariam learns the most important lesson of all: she is a superhero, too.

    "I wrote this book because playing a superhero on television opened me up to a world filled with imagination, power, and possibility, one I hadn’t fully experienced when I was growing up," shared Tesfai. "It made me think about how meaningful it would have been to meet these heroes at a younger age and to see myself reflected in that world from the very beginning. With this story, and as DC begins an exciting new chapter in the kids’ space, I wanted children to have that experience early on."

    Tesfai is no stranger to superheroes. She played the Guardian on Supergirl, becoming the first Ethiopian and Eritrean person to portray a superhero on television, and the first CW actor to write for the network, penning the Guardian’s debut episode “Blind Spots.” Her work on the series centered on community, inclusion, and the idea that everyone has the power to protect and uplift the people around them.

    "Telling the story through the lens of a young Ethiopian girl and her single mother allowed me to bring my culture into DC history for the first time, while inviting kids to meet some of the most iconic heroes, Superman, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Batman, and The Flash, right alongside her," continued Tesfai. "My hope is that You’re A Superhero! helps young readers fall in love with these legendary characters and, more importantly, recognize that the courage, strength, and imagination they admire already live inside them."

    Illustrator Penelope Rivera Gaylord brings Mariam’s world to life with warmth, humor, and expressive character design. A visual development artist whose credits include DC's Diana and the Hero's Journey middle grade graphic novel, Cartoon Network, Imagine Entertainment Kids and Family, and 9B Collective, Gaylord has also illustrated several Little Golden Books, including Captain Marvel and Avengers: Battle on the Moon. Born in the Philippines and raised in the Washington, DC, area, she now creates stories alongside her husband Jerry, and pursues what she calls a “cowabunga lifestyle.”

    You’re A Superhero! is the latest addition to DC’s growing line of early reader graphic novels, joining titles like Superman’s Good Guy Gang, Aquamanatee, Supergirl’s Zoo‑per Heroes: Krypto’s Big Break, and Superman’s Good Guy Gang: Follow the Leader. These books introduce young readers to the DC Universe through fun, accessible stories that celebrate courage, kindness, and the power of imagination.

    You’re A Superhero!, by Azie Tesfai and Penelope Rivera Gaylord, arrives on November 3, 2026, wherever books and comics are sold. The book is available for preorder now through Penguin Random House.

    You’re A Superhero! by Azie Tesfai and Penelope Rivera Gaylord
    On Sale November 3, 2026; ISBN 9781799504047, $12.99 US, 72 pages
    Early Reader (Ages 5–7 | Grades K–2)

    Azie Tesfai is an actor, writer, and producer best known for her role on The CW’s Supergirl, while also making history as the first Ethiopian actor to portray a superhero on screen. During the show’s final season, Tesfai expanded her creative footprint by co-writing an episode, marking the beginning of her transition into behind-the-scenes storytelling. She is also recognized for her role on the Golden Globe–nominated Jane the Virgin, and has recently appeared in Matlock and Bel-Air.

    Building on her success in front of the camera, Tesfai has quickly emerged as a formidable creative force behind it. She recently sold her original pilot, The Chase, to Universal Television for NBC and is developing multiple television projects across both scripted and unscripted formats. Her scripted slate includes Sheba, while her unscripted work spans a docuseries in development with Amplify Pictures and Aldis Hodge, a dating series with Issa Rae’s Hoorae, and additional projects across film and television.
