"Solo" is an American comic book series that was published bimonthly by DC Comics, beginning in October 2004. Each issue has 48 pages plus covers, with no ads.

"Solo" was canceled in 2006; in total, twelve issues appeared.

Overview

The title was conceived as an anthology series to spotlight the work of a different comic book artist in each issue. The creators were free to tell stories in any genre and to use DC's library of characters as they saw fit. They could also work with writers if they chose, but the intention of the series was for them to show off the range of their own individual artistic sensibilities and abilities. [ [http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=1621 DC Comics' Lone Star: Mark Chiarello Talks 'Solo'] , Comic Book Resources, November 12, 2002] In some ways it could be seen as a descendant of DC's old "Showcase" series, though instead of developing new concepts the title highlights the work of established industry professionals.
