Super-Team Family is a comic book anthology series published by DC Comics from 1975 to 1978 that lasted for fifteen issues. The series published a mix of original and reprinted stories.
Super-Team Family began publication with a October–November 1975 cover date. DC published several other ... Family titles concurrent with Super-Team Family including The Superman Family (1974-1982), Batman Family (1975-1978) and Tarzan Family (1975-1976). As a rule, DC's ... Family titles contained mostly reprints, and featured a higher page count (and higher price) than DC's normal books.
The original intention of Super-Team Family was to be a 'home' for original story team-ups without Batman, as editor Gerry Conway wrote in the letters column of issue #1. The first issue was only all-reprint due to scheduling problems, according to Conway. By issue #3 "economics had changed", and readers were informed that the series would go all-reprint with #4, edited by E. Nelson Bridwell. As of #9 the editor changed again, and Super-Team Family returned to an original-story format, with the occasional reprint seen in back-up stories.
A Creeper/Wildcat team-up in #2 and a Flash/Hawkman tale in #3 were the only new stories in the first seven issues of the title. The Challengers of the Unknown were the lead feature in issues #8-10 in a series of new stories by writer Steve Skeates and artists James Sherman and Jack Abel. Reprinted backup stories were eliminated as of #11 which saw the start of a four-issue serial written by Gerry Conway starring the Atom teaming with various other DC characters.
