Blindside

A creature of the mid-'90s independent comics explosion, Blindside burst onto the scene in 1996 courtesy of Todd McFarlane and Greg Capullo's Spawn #45 before carving out a corner of the Maximum Press universe. With dedicated appearances across Asylum, Avengelyne, and their own self-titled series, this character earned a modest but genuine footprint in the wilder, darker end of the Copper/Modern Age. Five catalog appearances spread across sixteen years tells the story of a cult figure — not a household name, but exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes digging through back-issue bins so rewarding.
