Clarence O'Dare

Clarence O'Dare is a member of Opal City's O'Dare family, a clan of dedicated police officers who serve as allies to Jack Knight, the cosmic-rod-wielding Starman protecting their city.

Clarence O'Dare stepped onto the DC stage in 1995, born from the celebrated creative vision of James Robinson and Tony Harris in Starman #14 — one of the most critically beloved series of the Modern Age. Over roughly fifteen years, Clarence carved out a place in the rich, noir-tinged world of Opal City, sharing pages with Jack Knight, the enigmatic Shade, and other luminaries of that landmark run. He's the kind of supporting character who gives a great comic its texture and soul, and for devotees of Robinson's Starman — a series that redefined what superhero storytelling could be — tracking down every Clarence O'Dare appearance is a labor of genuine love.
