Djinn

Stepping out of the shadows in the very first issue of John Ostrander and Luke McDonnell's landmark 1987 Suicide Squad run, Djinn is a rare gem from one of DC's most celebrated Copper Age launches. With only a handful of catalog appearances — including a slot in Who's Who: Update '87 — this character carries the mystique of someone glimpsed at the edges of a dangerous world, sharing pages with the likes of Green Lantern, Ravan, and Chimera. Brief appearances can be the most intriguing of all, and for collectors who love the gritty, morally complex corner of the DC universe that Suicide Squad carved out, Djinn is a fascinating footnote worth chasing down.
