Black Hand

Few corners of the DC universe feel as steeped in cosmic dread as the world Black Hand inhabits — a Bronze Age creation conjured by Marv Wolfman and Joe Staton in Green Lantern #146 (1981) that would cast a long shadow across more than three decades of DC storytelling. Turning up across Green Lantern, Detective Comics, and even the sweeping Green Lantern / New Gods: Godhead crossover, this is a figure whose presence consistently draws the heaviest hitters in the DC cosmos — Hal Jordan, Sinestro, Carol Ferris among them — suggesting a character of genuine weight and menace. With a publishing life stretching from 1981 all the way to 2016, Black Hand is no footnote but a persistent, unsettling fixture of the Green Lantern mythology worth seeking out for any collector who loves their Bronze Age darkness served with cosmic scale.
