responsibilities to his community and his relationship with Lynn Stewart. Additional stories explore connections with his daughters Anissa and Jennifer, the Outsiders, Mr. Terrific and Steel. Writers Danny Lore, Greg Anderson Elysée and Al Letson join artists Karen S. Darboe, Darryl Banks and Sedat Özgen in the
special. The publisher also connects Jefferson’s vision in DC K.O. to the prospect of mentoring a younger hero. Edwin Galmon and Andrew Dalhouse provide the main cover, with variants including one by Black Lightning co-creator Trevor Von Eeden and Chris Sotomayor. A glow-in-the-dark Cully Hamner cover is also planned.
