Flyte

A creature of the Bronze Age's indie frontier, Flyte burst onto the scene in 1984 courtesy of creators Steve Ringgenberg and Rod Whigham in Bolt Special #1 — one of AC Comics' distinctive offerings from that scrappy, adventurous era when smaller publishers were carving out their own corners of the medium. With appearances spread across Faze One Fazers, Bolt Special, and even the behind-the-scenes curio The Vic Bridges Fazers Sketchbook and Fact File, Flyte is woven into a tight-knit world shared with colorfully named figures like Non-Man, Coral, Hydromatic, Carbonite, and Silver. Six catalog appearances make Flyte a rare find — the kind of character that rewards the dedicated digger who loves the texture and ambition of 1980s independent comics at their most imaginative.
