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 Amazing World of DC Comics was a regrettably short-lived (17 issues) magazine that published interviews, previously unpublished stories, humorous pieces, articles on DC super-heroes, and other DC-centric items of interest.

Nelson Bridwell, a previously unpublished story called "Murder, Inc." by Jack Kirby and Mike Royer, How a Comic Book is Created by Paul Levitz, a retrospective on the Fleischer Superman cartoons and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.
