Weird Worlds was an American comic book science-fiction anthology series published by DC Comics. It ran from 1972 to 1974 for a total of 10 issues.[1] The title's name was partially inspired by the sales success of Weird War Tales and Weird Western Tales.[2] A second series was published in 2011.

Original series

Weird Worlds published features based on writer Edgar Rice Burroughs' creations which DC had obtained the licensing rights. This included the "John Carter of Mars" feature, by scripter Marv Wolfman and artist Murphy Anderson, which moved from Tarzan #209, and the "Pellucidar" feature from Korak, Son of Tarzan #46 drawn by Alan Weiss, Michael Kaluta, and Dan Green.

These features ran until issue #7 (October 1973) until it became economically infeasible for DC to continue publishing so many adaptations of Burroughs' work.[3] "John Carter" would re-appear in Tarzan Family #62–64 and "Pellucidar" in Tarzan Family #66.

A new feature began in issue #8, Dennis O'Neil and Howard Chaykin's Ironwolf,[4] which ran through issue #10. The release of the last issue of Weird Worlds was delayed for several months due to a nationwide paper shortage.[5] The Weird Worlds stories were reprinted in an Ironwolf one-shot in March 1987.[6]

Second series

The title was relaunched in March 2011 and ran for six issues.[7] It featured Lobo and two new characters: Aaron Lopresti's Garbage Man and Kevin Maguire's Tanga. In September 2011, The New 52 rebooted DC's continuity. In this new timeline, the characters appeared in the title My Greatest Adventure.
