Gardner Lee

Gardner Lee made their mark in the mid-1980s Bronze Age indie scene, debuting in Bolt and Starforce Six #1 (1984) courtesy of creators Bill Black and Rod Whigham at AC Comics — a publisher beloved by fans who dig beyond the Big Two. With appearances spread across Bolt and Starforce Six, Bolt Special, and Starforce Six Special, Gardner shares the page with a colorful roster including Bolt, Samson, and Katherine Powers. It's a compact but characterful corner of Bronze Age comics history, and for collectors hunting the full AC universe, Gardner Lee is one of those satisfying discoveries that rewards a deep dive.
