DC Comics Graphic Novel Collection is a fortnightly partwork magazine published by Eaglemoss Collections and DC Comics. The series is a collection of special edition hardback graphic novels, collecting significant DC Comics superhero story-arcs as well as bonus origin stories for the characters within.

The collection started in countries like Germany, Brazil, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary but with a different order and contents. A small local test run was also run in select parts of the UK, similar to what happens with most partworks. The debut issue, Batman: Hush Part 1, was released in the UK on 19 August 2015 at the special price of £2.99, before gradually rising to £9.99 per issue. As from issue 37 each issue will cost £10.99. 60 issues of the partwork are planned with the possibility of an extension.
The collection was likely inspired by the Hachette partwork The Official Marvel Graphic Novel Collection which began in 2012, collecting acclaimed Marvel Comics stories, which in-turn inspired another Hachette partworks collection from the 2000 AD series Judge Dredd: The Mega Collection.
