Four-Star Spectacular

Anthology comic book series published by the DC Comics in the mid-1970s

Four-Star Spectacular was an anthology comic book series published by DC Comics in the mid-1970s. The series was edited by E. Nelson Bridwell and ran for six issues from March/April 1976 to January/February 1977. The books were in the "giant size" format and consisted mostly of superhero reprints, with some new material. A total of four characters from DC's roster of superheroes appeared in each issue — hence the title. Half of the title's issues, however, only featured three stories. Each issue featured a Superboy story, a Wonder Woman story, and at least one other story (usually a team-up story). All issues featured cover art by DC artist Ernie Chua.[1]

Television

The name "Four-Star Spectacular" was used as the title of an episode on the animated television show Batman: The Brave and the Bold. The episode emulated the "Four Star Spectacular" concept: it contained four segments starring heroes who had previously appeared on the show (i.e., Adam Strange in "Worlds War", Flash in "Double Jeopardy", 'Mazing Man in "Kitty Catastrophe" and the Creature Commandos in "The War That Time Forgot"). Batman appeared in each segment as a secondary character and/or in cameo appearance.[3]
