Crimson Dawn

A genuine Silver Age curiosity, Crimson Dawn made their debut in DC's Secret Six #1 back in 1968, brought to life by the imaginative team of E. Nelson Bridwell and Frank Springer. With a name that evokes intrigue and shadow, this character shares the page with a colorful cast — Carlo Di Rienzi, King Savage, Lili De Neuve, Dr. August Durant, and even Batgirl — suggesting a world of espionage-tinged adventure that DC was exploring at the height of the spy-craze era. Crimson Dawn's appearances stretch across Secret Six, Blackhawk, and even the light-hearted Leave It to Binky, making for one of the more eclectic footprints in the DC catalog. Rare in the truest sense with only a handful of recorded appearances, this is exactly the kind of deep-cut Silver Age gem that rewards the dedicated collector willing to dig.
