Darkstar

A late-era entry into DC's cosmic corner, this Darkstar emerged in 1995 from the pages of The Darkstars, the series that explored the outer reaches of the DC universe during the Copper/Modern Age. Created by Michael Jan Friedman and Mike Collins, the character shares their intergalactic world with luminaries like Donna Troy and John Stewart, keeping genuinely impressive company. With only a handful of catalog appearances concentrated in a brief but eventful window, this is exactly the kind of rare, deep-cut cosmic character that makes dedicated DC collectors feel like true archaeologists of the medium.
