Cancelled Comic Cavalcade
The "DC Explosion" and "DC Implosion" were two events in 1978 – the first an official marketing campaign, the second a sardonic reference to it – in which DC Comics expanded their roster of publications, then abruptly cut it back.

The cancellations included long-running series such as ''Our Fighting Forces'', ''Showcase'', and '' House of Secrets''; new series introduced as part of the expansion such as ''Firestorm'' and '' Steel: The Indestructible Man''; and announced series such as '' The Vixen'' which would have been the company's first title starring an African-American woman.
