DC Special Series

DC Special Series was a series of issues published by DC Comics from 1977 to 1981 which covered a number of different features and was published in a number of different formats. Since all the issues in this series had dual titles in their indicia there are two entries in the GCD for each book. The main entry is in the DC Special Series entry and then separate skeleton entries exist for each individual title.
