Captain Phil Hunter

A soldier born in the thick of DC's Silver Age war comics boom, Captain Phil Hunter made his debut in G.I. Combat #117 in 1966, brought to life by the legendary war comics team of Robert Kanigher and Russ Heath. He's the kind of gritty battlefield figure that defined DC's celebrated war line, sharing pages with icons like General J.E.B. Stuart and even crossover luminaries like The Flash and Superman — rarefied company that speaks to the breadth of DC's Silver Age universe. His presence in America at War: The Best of DC War Comics and a listing in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe confirm he earned a place in the official canon across nearly two decades of publication. A compact but genuine piece of DC war comics history, Captain Phil Hunter is a rewarding find for collectors who love the era when Kanigher and Heath were making some of the most viscerally compelling combat comics ever put to paper.
