Gnome

Gnome stepped onto the comics scene in 1992 as part of Jim Lee and Brandon Choi's landmark launch of WildC.A.T.s: Covert Action Teams — one of the founding titles of Image Comics and a genuine shot heard 'round the industry. Sharing pages with heavy hitters like Cole Cash, Zealot, Maul, and Lord Emp, this character inhabits one of the most celebrated corners of the Copper/Modern Age, a world of bold visuals and high-octane storytelling that defined a generation of comics fandom. With three key-issue appearances among a catalog presence that stretched all the way to 2018, Gnome carries real collector weight despite a selective footprint. If you're diving deep into the WildC.A.T.s universe — including the prestige Absolute edition — Gnome is a fascinating piece of that original, electric mythology.
