DMZ

Emerging from DC's early-1990s Copper Age, DMZ made their debut in Guy Gardner #8 in 1993, courtesy of the creative team of Gerard Jones, Will Jacobs, and Joe Staton. Though their catalog footprint is compact — just seven appearances spread across nearly three decades — DMZ turns up in some genuinely compelling company, sharing pages with characters like Wise Son, Brickhouse, and Hannibal White across titles like Blood Syndicate and Static Shock!: Rebirth of the Cool, placing them squarely in DC's vibrant Milestone-adjacent corner of the universe. One of those appearances carries key-issue status, making DMZ a name worth flagging for collectors who love digging into the deeper cuts of the modern era.
