Captain X

Launched in the very first issue of Star Spangled Comics in 1941, Captain X is a genuine piece of Golden Age DC history, brought to life by none other than Jerry Siegel — the co-creator of Superman himself — alongside Harold Sherman. That debut issue is collector-significant, making Captain X part of one of the most storied first issues in DC's wartime publishing history, sharing its pages with luminaries like The Star-Spangled Kid and Tarantula. Rare enough to carry an air of mystery, yet notable enough to earn a place in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe, Captain X is exactly the kind of early DC figure that rewards the curious collector who loves digging into the genre's adventurous, patriotic roots.
