Arion

Stepping out of the mystical depths of Démon, this incarnation of Arion made their catalog debut in 1986 courtesy of creators Greg Potter and Gene Colan, landing squarely in the Copper Age with a distinctly French-language flavor courtesy of Arédit-Artima. With only three appearances on record, Arion is a rare and tantalizing find, sharing their pages with a fascinatingly eclectic cast that includes Travis Morgan, Shakira, Warlord, and the otherworldly Jemm fils de Saturne. That kind of company makes even a brief run feel like a crossroads of cosmic adventure, and for collectors hunting the edges of the Arédit-Artima catalogue, this elusive character is exactly the sort of discovery that makes digging through back-issue bins so rewarding.
