Who is Arak?

Arak, Son of Thunder, is a Native American warrior displaced into the world of Carolingian Europe, navigating a realm of swords, sorcery, and myth far from his homeland. His stories blend historical adventure with fantasy across his self-titled DC series.

A child of the Bronze Age, Arak carved out a distinctive corner of DC Comics when he debuted in 1982, sharing a universe populated by luminaries like Green Lantern, The Flash, and Manhunter. His adventures unfolded across Arak / Son of Thunder and its annual, with the character earning a place in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe β€” DC's ultimate roll call of characters worth remembering. With a run stretching through the mid-eighties and a catalog footprint that speaks to a dedicated following, Arak remains a rewarding discovery for collectors who love digging into the richer, stranger edges of the DC Bronze Age.
