General Choler

A villain with a name that crackles with menace, General Choler stomped onto the scene in 2013's Dial H #9, the gloriously weird DC series conjured by novelist China Miéville and artist Alberto Ponticelli — one of the Modern Age's most inventively strange corners of the publisher's universe. With only a handful of catalog appearances, this is a rare and curious figure, the kind of deep-cut character that rewards the devoted reader willing to dig into Dial H's labyrinthine world. Sharing pages with an eclectic cast that includes Irwin Schwab, Roxie Hodder, and The Centipede, General Choler is exactly the sort of singular creation that makes Miéville's run so endlessly fascinating to collectors hunting for the unexpected.
