Captain Lachrymose

A melancholy oddity born from the wonderfully strange imagination of China Miéville, Captain Lachrymose made their debut in Dial H #1 in 2012 — one of the Modern Age's most inventive and offbeat DC titles. Sharing pages with the likes of Nelson Jent, Manteau, Boy Chimney, and even Green Lantern, this character inhabits a corner of the DC universe where the bizarre and the poignant collide in gloriously unexpected ways. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Captain Lachrymose is the kind of deep-cut discovery that reminds you why Dial H was such a singular, collector-worthy run — a title that dared to be genuinely weird, and pulled it off beautifully.
