Chang

A genuine artifact of comics' earliest days, Chang made their debut in the pages of Adventure Comics #52 in 1940 — brought to life by none other than Joe Shuster, the co-creator of Superman himself, which alone makes this a name worth knowing for any serious Golden Age collector. Active during that brief, electric window of 1940–41, Chang inhabits a world shared with some of DC's most storied early heroes, rubbing shoulders with the likes of The Sandman, The Hour-Man's alter ego Rex Tyler, and Steve Conrad across the anthology's packed, pulp-flavored pages. With only seven catalogued appearances, Chang is a rare and fleeting figure from the dawn of the medium — the kind of obscure gem that reminds us just how wide and wonderfully strange the Golden Age universe truly was.
