Time Warp is the name of a science fiction American comic book series published by DC Comics for five issues from 1979 to 1980. A Time Warp one-shot was published by Vertigo in May 2013.

Publication history

In 1978, DC Comics intended to revive its science-fiction anthology series Strange Adventures. These plans were put on hold that year due to the DC Implosion, a line-wide scaling back of the company's publishing output. When the project was revived a year later, the title was changed to Time Warp and the series was in the Dollar Comics format.[1][2] The first issue was published with an October–November 1979 cover date. Michael Kaluta provided the cover art for the entire run.[3]

The title featured a mixture of both established comics creators and new talent.[4] The writing team of Dan Mishkin and Gary Cohn made their comics debut in issue #3 with the three-page short story "On the Day of His Return" which was drawn by Steve Ditko.[5]

Time Warp was canceled with issue #5 (June–July 1980) and unused inventory originally intended for the series was published in a revival of the Mystery in Space title.[6] Other Time Warp stories appeared in the mystery anthology The Unexpected.[3]

A one-shot was published by DC's Vertigo imprint in May 2013.[7] It included a Rip Hunter story by writer Damon Lindelof and artist Jeff Lemire.[8][9][10]
