Desmond Charne

Debuting in the landmark Deadpool #0 in 1998 under the pen of writer Joe Kelly and artist Yancey Labat, Desmond Charne is a Marvel figure who arrived right at the dawn of Deadpool's breakout solo era — a moment when the Merc with a Mouth was just beginning to carve out his singular corner of the Marvel Universe. With a modest but enduring catalog footprint stretching all the way to 2023, Charne's appearances are collected in some of the most celebrated Deadpool volumes on any fan's shelf, including Kelly's landmark complete collection. He shares his pages with a wonderfully eclectic cast — Blind Al, Bucky, Ben Parker, and Porcupine among them — which tells you everything about the gloriously unpredictable world he inhabits. A rare find for the dedicated Deadpool completist, Desmond Charne is the kind of deep-cut character that rewards readers who go beyond the highlights and dive into the full, wild run.
