Who is Bobby Lane?
Keith Giffen introduced Bobby Lane to comics in 1993 through Trencher #2, and this DC character went on to build a surprisingly durable presence across nearly three decades — a testament to the kind of staying power that keeps collectors coming back. With 73 catalog appearances and three key issues to their name, Bobby Lane is far from a footnote, racking up most of their page time across the Gen 13 and Gen 13 Bootleg series alongside a stellar roster that includes Grifter, John Lynch, and Sarah Rainmaker. If you're diving into the Copper/Modern Age corner of DC's wilder, more irreverent era, Bobby Lane is exactly the kind of character worth tracking down.
