Black Serpent

A creature of the mid-nineties DC universe, Black Serpent slithered onto the scene in 1994, brought to life by the sharp storytelling of Beau Smith and the already-distinctive linework of a young J. H. Williams III. This is a character forged in the rough-and-tumble world of Guy Gardner: Warrior, a series that never shied away from hard edges and bold personalities — and Black Serpent fits that mold perfectly, sharing pages with the likes of Guy Gardner himself, Arisia, and the imposing Sledge. Rare and elusive with only a handful of catalog appearances, Black Serpent is exactly the kind of deep-cut Copper/Modern Age find that rewards the dedicated DC digger.
