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 DC Explosion was part of an ongoing initiative at DC to regain market share by increasing the number of titles they published, while also increasing page counts and cover prices. The so-called "DC Implosion" was the result of the publisher experiencing losses that year due to a confluence of factors, and cancelling a large number of ongoing and planned series in response. 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.
