Okay, so let's get it out of the way. Here we are at last, with the long-awaited (cough) final part of an almost 8-and-a-half years odyssey through the covers and various interior images of the 50-ish
Secret Origins series from around the late 1980s and early '90s. We saw the last regular mag in the previous gallery instalment - this time around it's Annuals, Specials, and Giants just to complete the set.
Actually, Weird Secret Origins doesn't really belong here as it's a reprint issue published in 2004, a few years after the Replica Editions (1997/8 & 1999) of the first two mags from the '60s - plus a retro-style 'third' mag called Even More Secret Origins (2003), but I decided to throw it in just for good measure as it was stored away with the other mags in this post. (Wouldn't want it to feel unloved and rejected, now would we?)
So that's it Crivvies - it's now time to fill in the hole, pat down the earth, say our final goodbyes to Secret Origins, and focus on what lies ahead in future posts. Hopefully you'll all be along for the ride! In the meantime, feel free to bid your final adieus to this series of DC mags in our eager-to-hear-from-you comments section.
(I must confess to a sense of accomplishment - I started and I finished (eventually). Magnus Magnusson, John Humphrys, and Clive Myrie would be proud of me.)
