Who is Gary Concord, Jr.?

Gary Concord, Jr. is a Golden Age DC superhero known as the Ultra-Man, a futuristic champion who inherited his role from his father, Gary Concord, Sr. He operates in a far-future world, using advanced science to maintain peace as a super-soldier of tomorrow.

Few characters carry the weight of comics history quite like Gary Concord, Jr., a Golden Age DC creation who first leaped off the page in Adventure Comics #47 in 1940, conjured by the legendary Gardner Fox and artist Ogden Whitney. Emerging at the very dawn of the superhero age, Gary Concord, Jr. shares his vintage pages with an extraordinary roll call β€” Superman, Batman, The Flash, Green Lantern β€” placing him squarely at the founding table of the DC universe. His appearances are rare and collector-prized, with a key issue to his name and a presence that has echoed across reprints and retrospectives for an astonishing 85 years. For fans of Golden Age archaeology and the thrill of discovering a figure who stood alongside the titans at the very beginning, Gary Concord, Jr. is a genuine treasure worth seeking out.
