Fate

Stepping out of the cosmic corridors of DC's 1994 lineup, Fate made their debut in The Darkstars #22, born from the creative partnership of Michael Jan Friedman and Mike Collins during comics' modern era. Over a publishing span that stretched across nearly a quarter century, this character carved out a presence in titles like Guy Gardner: Warrior and their own self-titled series, sharing pages with heavy-hitters such as Green Lantern, Alan Scott, and Clark Kent. It's a rarefied circle to run in, and for collectors drawn to the deeper corners of DC's mythology, Fate represents exactly the kind of discovery that rewards a thorough long-box dive.
