"1st Issue Special" was a short-lived anthology series from DC Comics, done in similar style to their Showcase series. It ran from 1975-76. Few of the titles actually got their own series, the major exception being Mike Grell's The Warlord which first appeared in issue #8, cover date November 1975.

Issues 1 (featuring Atlas), 5, and 6 (Dingbats) featured art and story by comics legend Jack Kirby, with issue 5 being notable for featuring Kirby's revamp of the DC character Manhunter.

A number of issues featured existing DC Characters:

Issue 3, Metamorpho, written by the characters creator Bob Haney, issue 7, The Creeper, illustrated by the character's creator Steve Ditko, issue 9, The Golden Age character Doctor Fate, and issue 13, Jack Kirby's New Gods.

Issue 12 featured a revised version of the Golden Age Character Starman and would later be used in James Robinson's 1990's series focused on the character Jack Knight.

As of Superman issue 677 Atlas featured in a storyline again written by James Robinson. He promised Atlas would be "a major player in the Superman mythos".
