Duke Goldberg

Duke Goldberg burst onto the indie comics scene in 1987, a product of the creative energy that made the Copper Age such a fertile ground for fresh voices and bold new concepts. Launched by David Lawrence and Ron Lim through Pied Piper Comics, Duke made his debut in The New Humans #1 — a series that carved out its own corner of the universe alongside characters like Roger Brunner, Calvin Gordon, and Kelly Brock. A rarity from a small but spirited publisher, Duke is exactly the kind of hidden gem that rewards the curious collector willing to dig beyond the Big Two.
