DC To Surprise-Publish Marvel Family First Appearance Of Black Adam

In advance of the Black Adam film, DC Comics is to surprise-publish a Marvel Family #1 Facsimile Edition, a re-creation, including the original advertisements, of Black Adam's 1945 debut by Otto Binder and C.C. Beck. Retailers are being told about it this weekend, without any prior knowledge and so will have to fix orders for it through Lunar, Universal or Diamond UK by Sunday night or miss out.

Marvel Family #1 Facsimile Edition will be in comic book stores for $3.99 cover price on Tuesday, the 18th of October 18 in advance of the film's debut on the 21st of October. It may also be one of the final times DC Comics published a floppy comic with Marvel in the title.

BLACK ADAM #1 SPECIAL EDITION (NET)
(W) Christopher Priest (A) Rafa Sandoval (CA) Ben Oliver
There is no forgiveness for Black Adam. This is the reality Teth-Adam, immortal man of indomitable will, must face when he discovers he has been infected with an incurable plague destroying his immortality. Haunted by the specter of centuries of dark deeds, Black Adam transfers his powers to a worthy successor who will redeem Adam's legacy and defend their ancestral homeland of Kahndaq, only to subsequently become mystically handcuffed to him when Adam's plague is arrested, giving birth to perhaps the most volatile and dysfunctional super-team in DC history! Powered by stunning art by Rafa Sandoval (Justice League) and breathtaking painted covers by Irvin Rodriguez (Detective Comics), writer Christopher Priest (Deathstroke, Justice League) brings his trademark wit and skill for character deconstruction to an entirely fresh examination of the man you love to hate! Get ready to ride the lightning!
