DC COMICS · SHOWCASE · 1968
— JOE KUBERT
Joe Kubert launches his prehistoric epic with this pivotal Showcase entry, introducing Anthro in what would become one of DC's most distinctive Silver Age experiments. Kubert's mastery of both narrative and artwork shines through his authentic approach to Stone Age storytelling, drawing from genuine anthropological research to create believable Cro-Magnon culture. This represents Kubert at his creative peak, writing and illustrating a concept that broke new ground in comics — moving beyond superheroes to explore humanity's earliest struggles. The series would spawn from this tryout issue, cementing Anthro as a unique entry in DC's pantheon. Kubert's earthy, expressive linework perfectly captures the harsh beauty of prehistoric life, establishing visual techniques he'd later employ in his war comics mastery.
