The Dark Knight Returns, Watchmen, All-Star Superman and dozens more are oft considered DC's greatest tales, but for every Batman: Hush, there is always a comic that deserves to be looked at with a similar eye.

Everyone has their own special book that is just as good as Watchmen, but doesn't have the same recognition for one reason or another. Considering the sheer quantity of books DC have published, this was always going to be the case - however unfortunate it may be.

These books may have been critically adored at one point, or even did the rounds when they first came out, but they are still criminally underrated today. Each and every last one is worth reading though, and with books spanning from the most popular corners of the DC Universe all the way through to its more obscure areas, it's clear that the publisher has a troff of under-appreciated gems in its library, just waiting to be read.
