Cypher

Debuting in the pages of Robin #1 in 1993 — itself a collector-recognized key issue — Cypher is a Copper/Modern Age DC creation brought to life by the accomplished team of Chuck Dixon and Tom Grummett. With appearances stretching across roughly two decades and a presence in both Robin and Adventures of Superman, this character moves through some genuinely prestigious corners of the DC Universe, sharing pages with the likes of Batman, Green Lantern, and Arthur Curry. Rare enough to feel like a true deep-cut discovery for the dedicated collector, Cypher is exactly the kind of figure that rewards fans who love digging past the headliners.
