This short-lived series reprinted origin stories for DC’s most popular and enduring super-heroes, including Superman, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman and Aquaman.
Although many of the super-heroes had already, by the mid-seventies, had a variety of origin stories, this series always reprinted the “secret” origin story for a character, rather than the current, or most popular one. Readers may have been delighted at being able to enjoy the first origins of their heroes, or may have been dismayed at the sketchy quality of comic book art for early issues. If so, these qualms seem to have been addressed in 1986 when DC launched its expanded second series of Secret Origins.
