Let's wrap up this week by looking at a few other highlights of the DCCP run.

DC Comics Presents #1 from August 1978.  If I were to rank my all time favorite Superman artists, Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez would absolutely be in the top three, and I got the chance to meet him last year at the Motor City Comic Con.  My wife is a photographer (that's her alien pic that is my avatar) and she usually does a festival in East Lansing that same weekend.  Last year, however they were a week apart so she actually had the chance to be a vendor at the con!  During some down time, I was able to go and chat with him for a few and thank him for his work, and I got this autographed comic to add to my personal collection!

DC Comics Presents #2 (Whitman Variant) from October 1978.  This is part 2 of the Superman/Flash race and one of the nicer Whitman variants that I have in my collection.

DC Comics Presents #8 from April 1979.  Hands down, my favorite cover from this title.  What I would do to get the original art for this one...

Earlier in the week, we looked at DCCP #26 which featured story and art by Jim Starlin.  He would actually keep drawing the book for a few more issues, helping to introduce (along with Len Wein) another classic cosmic villain, Mongul!

DC Comics Presents #27 from November 1980.  For the next five years or so, he would be a semi-recurring villain for this title.

Here he is again, looking decidedly happier in DC Comics Presents #28 from December 1980.  This issue is also the first appearance of the Warworld.

DC Comics Presents #29 from January 1981 has my favorite cover from the Jim Starlin run on this title.  That's some classic Starlin...and that purple...love it!

Starlin would have one more crack at this title before heading back to Marvel to do a small graphic novel about the death of someone or other.

DC Comics Presents #36 from August 1981.  Once again, it's cosmic and Mongul is in the mix.

After a few more appearances in this title, Mongul would remain little seen until he got pulled into the whole Reign of the Supermen storyline after the death of Superman.  From there, he was pretty firmly ensconced as a major Superman and Green Lantern villain.
