Captain Flag

A patriotic presence from the early 1990s DC universe, Captain Flag made their entrance in the pages of Timber Wolf #1 in 1992, brought to life by creators Al Gordon and Joe Phillips. This Copper/Modern Age character carved out a niche in a short but memorable series, sharing the page with the likes of Timber Wolf, Thrust, Gemini, and Brin Londo. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Captain Flag is a genuine deep-cut discovery — exactly the kind of overlooked gem that makes digging through early '90s DC back issues such a rewarding adventure.
