Gordon McClachlan

Stepping out of the shadows of one of comics' most celebrated universes, Gordon McClachlan made his debut in Before Watchmen: Minutemen #1 in 2012, brought to life by the legendary Darwyn Cooke as part of DC's ambitious expansion of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen mythology. Though his 15 catalogued appearances keep him firmly in supporting-character territory, he moves through some rarefied company — sharing pages with icons like the Comedian, Nite Owl, Silk Spectre, and Hollis Mason across the Before Watchmen miniseries. For collectors who love the texture and depth of a richly built world, McClachlan is exactly the kind of character that makes revisiting these stories rewarding — a figure whose presence helps flesh out the corners of a universe fans never wanted to leave.
