Fastback

Fastback is a super-speedster tortoise and member of the Zoo Crew, DC's team of funny-animal heroes inhabiting the parallel Earth known as Earth-C. Despite the irony of his species, he possesses extraordinary speed, fighting alongside Captain Carrot to protect their anthropomorphic world.

A delightful product of the Bronze Age's more playful side, Fastback burst onto the scene in 1982 as part of Roy Thomas, Scott Shaw!, and Ross Andru's wonderfully imaginative Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew! — DC's beloved funny-animal corner of the multiverse. With a collector-significant key issue to their name right out of the gate, Fastback shares adventures alongside the likes of Captain Carrot, Rubberduck, and even Green Lantern, running in some genuinely fun company. Significant enough to earn a spot in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe, this character is a charming emblem of an era when DC wasn't afraid to get wonderfully weird — and for fans of Bronze Age curiosities, that's more than enough reason to dig in.
