    2. "The DC Feature Page" "It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's Answer Man!" 2/3 page of questions answered by Bob Rozakis.
    3. "DC Profiles Number 43" "Bob Smith" 1/3 page text piece.
    4. "The Case of the Off-Key Crimes!" (Hawkman) written by Len Wein, penciled and inked by Murphy Anderson, lettered by Ben Oda and colored by Glynis Wein.

    Notes

    • This issue contains the Hostess Superhero Ad, Green Lantern and Mirror Master in "Green Lantern vs. Mirror Master".
    • Last $.50 cent issue.
    • Due to the wave of cancellations in 1978, DC Comics was heavily considering canceling its namesake series with this issue. The title was saved though after a strong campaign by comic creators and was subsequently merged with Batman Family.
