DC Comics is following up on the success of its Compact Comics line with a six-volume boxed set that will be released in November 2026. The set will include All-Star Superman, by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely; Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, by Frank Miller; Batman: The Long Halloween, by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale; DC: The New Frontier, by Darwyn Cooke and Dave Stewart; Kingdom Come, by Mark Waid and Alex Ross; and Watchmen, by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. The boxed set will go on sale on November 3, 2026, with an MSRP of $49.99, which is less than the cost of the six books if bought individually.
DC’s Compact Comics collect an entire story arc as a paperback with a standard cover price of $9.99 per volume (see “DC Launches New Line of ‘Compact Comics’”). The books have sold well in both comic shops and bookstores (see “Full Year 2025 Circana BookScan”), and DC will continue adding to the line in 2026 (see “DC Lines Up More Compact Comics for 2026”).
