The DC Anthology Specials bring together themed short stories from across the DC Comics roster. With eighteen volumes published between 2017 and 2025, these specials cover holidays, horror, romance, and character milestones. Rucka has contributed stories to several of these collections.
The anthology format allows writers like Rucka to tell quick, self-contained stories with DC characters outside of ongoing continuity. These specials are good entry points for readers who want bite-sized superhero stories.
