Issue #1 - July-August 1974. Amazing World of DC Comics was a regrettably short-lived (17 issues) magazine that published interviews, previously unpublished stories, humorous pieces, articles on DC super-heroes, and other DC-centric items of interest.

This first issue includes the following: an interview with Joe Kubert, a piece on the Wonder Woman TV movie, Sol Harrison on the beginnings of DC Comics, Bob Rozakis on letter writers, a retrospective by E. Nelson Bridwell, a previously unpublished story called "Murder, Inc." by Jack Kirby and Mike Royer, How a Comic Book is Created by Paul Levitz, a retrospective on the Fleischer Superman cartoons and more. Cover by Carmine Infantino, back cover of Hawkman by Joe Kubert. Centerfold by Michael Kaluta of the Shadow. 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 48 pages, black and white. Cover price $1.50.
