In 2004, the title ''DC Comics Presents'' was revived for eight one-shot issues, each a tribute to DC editor [[Julius Schwartz]] who had recently died. Each issue featured two stories based on a classic DC Comics cover of the past, reflecting Schwartz's frequent practice of commissioning a cover concept, then telling the writers to create a story about that cover. | In 2004, the title ''DC Comics Presents'' was revived for eight one-shot issues, each a tribute to Schwartz, who had recently died.
