The Fourth World characters reappeared in various titles. In 1976, the New Gods were featured in the last issue of "1st Issue Special". "The New Gods" series relaunched in July 1977, and with "1st Issue Special" still a relatively recent publication, it picked up where the storyline of that issue left off. Although the title remained "The New Gods" in the indicia and retained its original numbering, launching with #12, the covers used the title "The Return of the New Gods". Gerry Conway wrote the series and Don Newton drew it. Mister Miracle teamed-up with Batman three times in "The Brave and the Bold" and the "Mister Miracle" series was revived in September 1977 by Steve Englehart and Marshall Rogers. Steve Gerber and Michael Golden produced three issues ending with #25 (Sept. 1978) with several storylines unresolved. Mister Miracle teamed with Superman in "DC Comics Presents" #12 (Aug. 1979) and the New Gods met the Justice League of America and the Justice Society of America in "Justice League of America" #183–185 (Oct–Dec 1980). "The Great Darkness Saga" storyline in "Legion of Super-Heroes" vol. 2 featured that team battling Darkseid a thousand years in the future.
