Captain Salardo

A creature of the cosmos born in the mid-'90s Malibu era, Captain Salardo made their entrance in Walter Simonson's Star Slammers #1 (1994) — a debut that carries the weight of a genuine key issue from one of comics' most distinctive visual storytellers. Though their catalog footprint is compact, Salardo moves through a richly populated universe alongside the likes of Colonel Phaedra, Commander Rojas, and Sergeant Kali, suggesting a world alive with rank, conflict, and interstellar intrigue. For fans of Simonson's bold, kinetic sensibility and the ambitious sci-fi energy that defined the Copper/Modern Age frontier, Captain Salardo is a compelling piece of that story worth seeking out.
