''DC Comics Presents'' was a comic book series published by DC Comics from 1978 to 1986 which ran for 97 issues and 4 annuals and featured team-ups between Superman and a wide variety of other characters of the DC Universe. A recurring back-up feature "Whatever Happened to...?" had stories revealing the status of various minor and little-used characters. ==Publication history== ''DC Comics Presents'' debuted with a July/August 1978 cover date and was edited by Julius Schwartz. The series was launched with a team-up of Superman and the Flash by writer Martin Pasko and artist José Luis García-López. The winner of the ''DC Comics Presents'' letter column name contest appeared in the Superman/Hawkman story in issue #11 (July 1979).〔(''DC Comics Presents'' #11 ) at the Grand Comics Database〕 The "Whatever Happened to...?" backup feature began in issue #25 (Sept. 1980) and would appear in most issues for the next two years until its last installment in issue #48 (Aug. 1982). Issue #26 included an insert introduction story to the then-upcoming ''New Teen Titans'' series by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez.〔Manning, Matthew K. "1980s" in Dolan, p. 188: "(New Teen Titans'' ) went on to become DC's most popular comic team of its day. Not only the springboard for the following month's ''The New Teen Titans'' #1, the preview's momentous story also featured the first appearance of future DC mainstays Cyborg, Starfire, and Raven."〕 Len Wein and Jim Starlin co-created the supervillain Mongul in issue #27 (Nov. 1980)〔Manning "1980s" in Dolan, p. 188 "Artist Jim Starlin displayed his penchant for portraying powerful cosmic villains with the debut of Mongul, a new threat to plague Superman's life, in a story written by Len Wein."〕 as part of a three-issue storyline. Another insert in issue #41 previewed the "new direction" Wonder Woman. In issue #47, Superman traveled to Eternia and met the Masters of the Universe. Ambush Bug made his first appearance in issue #52 (Dec. 1982)〔Manning "1980s" in Dolan, p. 199: "(Bug ) made his debut in the pages of ''DC Comics Presents'' #52...() writer Paul Kupperberg and artist Keith Giffen."〕 and made additional appearances in issue #59 and #81. The Superman/Challengers of the Unknown tale in issue #84 was drawn by Jack Kirby and Alex Toth. The series also contained the Alan Moore Superman/Swamp Thing story "The Jungle Line" in ''DC Comics Presents'' #85 (Sept. 1985), pencilled by Rick Veitch and inked by Al Williamson. Issue #87 featured the first appearance and origin of the divergent Kal-El of the Earth Prime reality, who would become known as Superboy-Prime.〔Manning "1980s" in Dolan, p. 215 "This issue set into motion the life of Earth-Prime's youngest superhero, a major player in the ''Crisis on Infinite Earths'' saga, and the brutal adversary at the heart of 2005-2006's ''Infinite Crisis'' limited series."〕 The final issue is an exception to the team-up format, instead featuring Superman in an "Untold Tale" involving the Phantom Zone, by Steve Gerber, following up in his limited series of the same title. In 2004, the title ''DC Comics Presents'' was revived for eight one-shot issues, each a tribute to DC editor Julius Schwartz who had recently died. Each issue featured two stories based on a classic DC Comics cover of the past, reflecting Schwartz's frequent practice of commissioning a cover concept, then telling the writers to create a story about that cover. In July 2010, DC announced the launch of a new ''DC Comics Presents'', a line of 100-page reprint issues reprinting stories that have not seen print since their original publication.
