Showcase was a catch-all comic book from DC where new projects were often tested before getting their own titles...or, if sales were lax, not. Much of the year '66 for SHOWCASE was taken up by Murphy Anderson and Gardner Fox's cosmic revival of Jerry Siegel's THE SPECTRE (mercifully minus his sidekick from the '40s, Percival Popp the Super Cop!) and Joe Orlando's INFERIOR FIVE. Both of those features eventually graduated to their own book...which is more than can be said for B'wana Beast who rounded out the year.
