Dave Castiglione

Dave Castiglione made his entrance in the mid-1990s through Malibu's The Phoenix Resurrection, a crossover event that brought some seriously heavy hitters together — sharing pages with the likes of Mantra, Prototype, Logan, and Ororo Munroe makes for remarkable company by any measure. Debuting in 1995 courtesy of creators J. Smith and R. Haynes, Dave is a rare find from that electric Copper/Modern Age moment when Malibu was swinging for the fences. His appearances across The Phoenix Resurrection titles are few and collectible, making him one of those intriguing background pieces of '90s comics history that rewards the dedicated hunter who wants the complete picture of a genuinely ambitious crossover saga.
