Blacklight

Bursting onto the scene in 1993 courtesy of Image Comics pioneer Jim Valentino, Blacklight is a Copper/Modern Age creation who made their debut in the pages of Shadowhawk #4 — itself a cornerstone of Image's bold early era. Over roughly twelve years, this character carved out a presence across titles like The Pact, Images of Shadowhawk, and Shadowhawk, sharing adventures with the likes of ShadowHawk and a compelling cast of figures that defined Image's gritty universe. With only eleven catalogued appearances, Blacklight is the kind of rare, intriguing find that rewards the dedicated collector — a gem tucked into one of comics' most exciting founding chapters, waiting to be rediscovered.
