The next seven listings are from my incomplete run of DC Challenge!, which is 12 issues.  Below, I've quoted Wikipedia on what this mini-series entailed.  It's actually kinda cool. (thumbsu

 

"DC Challenge was a 12-issue comic book limited series produced by DC Comics from November 1985 to October 1986, as a round robin experiment in narrative.  The series' tagline was "Can You Solve It Before We Do?"

"The DC Challenge series was conceived during a rooftop party at the 1983 San Diego Comic Con.  The premise of the series was that each chapter would be written by a different author and illustrated by a different artist.  No consultation between authors was permitted.  As well, each chapter would end in a seemingly impossible cliffhanger from which that chapter's author had to have planned a viable escape, and the name of the next chapter would be provided. Authors were free to use any character or concept from DC's then-50 years of publication, with the exception of those whose appearances they were currently writing.  MR. Giordano had been the original editor of the series, but turned the job over to Robert Greenberger before the first issue was published. The last issue of DC Challenge was a collaborative effort by six of the twelve writers."

DC Challenge! #5 (12-part limited series).  This series features numerous DC characters, with this issue featuring Adam Strange, Doctor Fate, and others.

I believe this comic to be in Very Fine plus condition, or better.  This comic shows very light wear on the spine and no tears at the staples. There is very light blunting of the spine corners, as well as a handful of spine stress creases/ticks that may or may not break the ink.  It’s difficult to tell if there’s ink-breakage against the white background.  The back cover shows a few spots of very light soiling and/or ink transfers along the spine.

$3, PLUS SHIPPING

I believe this comic to be in Very Fine minus condition, or better.  This comic shows very light wear on the spine and no tears at the staples. There is very light blunting of the spine corners, as well as a small handful of spine stress creases/ticks that very lightly break the ink.  The front cover shows some wrinkling near the bottom spine corner that should press out.  The back cover shows a mild finger bend near the top edge.

DC Challenge! #12 (12-part limited series).  This series features numerous DC characters, with this giant-sized issue featuring pretty much everybody.  This comic had a low print run.

I believe this comic to be in Very Fine condition, or better.  There is light blunting of the spine corners, as well as a few spine stress creases/ticks that barely break the ink.  The back cover shows some rippling/wrinkling on the top edge (center), along with a finger bend near the center of the page.  A press will help this one too.

The next three listings are for DC/Marvel: All Access, which was a four-part mini series.  Unfortunately, I am missing issue #4.  This is another series that brings the Marvel and DC worlds together.

DC Nation #0, presented by Comics Elite.  This comic features three stories that will only appear in this issue.  Featured appearances are made by Batman, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman, Superman, Flash, and Joker.  I have three copies of this issue.

I believe this comic to be in Fine/Very Fine condition, or better.  The spine shows light wear.  There is light blunting of the spine corners, as well as a couple spine stress creases/ticks that very lightly break the ink.  The top spine corner has a bend crease that will press out, but the corner itself shows some mild wear.  The back cover shows a few areas of light soiling and ink transfers in spots around the white border...especially near the staples.

The scans provided are for the worst looking copy of the three.  The other copies are in slightly better condition, but I will provide scans of those on request.

$2, PLUS SHIPPING (each copy)

Direct edition copies of DC One Million #1 to #4.  These stories take place in, or with, characters in the 853rd Century.

I've decided to sell these four comics as a 'lot' because the black front covers didn't fare well, either because of me, my LCS at the time, or both.  You can see finger prints, scuffs, ink rubs, etc.  I will still sell them individually, shown below.

$2, PLUS SHIPPING (each copy)

$6, PLUS SHIPPING (all four together)

Direct edition copy of DC Universe Holiday Bash #1.  This comic is a collection of holiday stories by various artists, featuring Batman, Superman, Catwoman, Demon, and others.

I believe this comic to be in Very Fine condition, or better.  The spine shows very light wear.  There is light blunting of the spine corners, as well as a handful of spine stress creases/ticks...with a few that very lightly break the ink.  The staples are recessed into the pages a bit, but I believe this is due to the thickness of the book…or a production issue.  A press will help the back cover, near the bottom spine corner.

Direct edition copy of DC Universe Holiday Bash II #1.  This comic is a collection of holiday stories by various artists, featuring Batman, Superman, Catwoman, Demon, and others.  Black Lightning makes an appearance as well.

I believe this comic to be in Very Fine plus condition, or better.  The spine shows extremely light wear.  There is light blunting of the spine corners, as well as a few spine stress creases/ticks that barely break the ink.  The back cover shows rippling/wrinkling that goes through the back half of the entire comic.  I think this can be pressed out.

Direct edition copy of DC Universe: Trinity #1 (limited series).  With a metallic coated cover, this two-part series features appearances by Green Lantern, Darkstars, and Guardians of the Galaxy.

I believe this comic to be in Fine/Very Fine condition, or better.  This comic shows extremely light wear on the spine and no tears at the staples. There is light blunting of the spine corners, as well as a one or two spine stress creases/ticks that barely break the ink.  The metallic coated cover didn’t fare well, showing numerous scuffs, scraps, scratches, etc., on both sides.

I believe this comic to be in Very Fine minus condition, or better.  There is light blunting of the spine corners (especially the top, back), as well as a one or two spine stress creases/ticks that barely break the ink…one of which is fairly noticeable.  The metallic coated cover didn’t fare great, showing some scuffs, scraps, scratches, etc., on both sides.  It is a bit better than the previous listing though.

DC’s Year of the Villain #1, presented by Comics Elite.  The cover was done by Greg Capullo and features numerous appearances by DC characters, including The Batman Who Laughs.  I have three copies of this issue.

I believe this comic to be in Very Fine minus condition, or better.  The spine shows very light wear.  There is light blunting of the spine covers, as well as a small handful of spine stress creases/ticks that very lightly break the ink.  Both covers show a few mild finger bends/indentations that will press out.

The copy listed here is probably the worst of the three, with the other two improving slightly in grade.  They are all the same price.

$2, PLUS SHIPPING (each copy)
