Ash

Stepping out of the groundbreaking Milestone Comics universe, Ash made their debut in Shadow Cabinet #0 in 1994 — a product of the visionary creative team of Robert L. Washington III, Dwayne McDuffie, and John Paul Leon, at a moment when Milestone was rewriting the rules of superhero publishing. Appearing across titles like Blood Syndicate and Hardware, Ash keeps remarkable company, sharing pages with icons like Static and the enigmatic Dharma. Though their catalog footprint is modest, a character woven into the fabric of Milestone's Dakota universe — a line whose influence has only grown over nearly three decades and into DC's present — is always worth a closer look for any serious collector of the era.
