Who is Harpis?

Harpis is a cosmic alien character who debuted in Green Lantern's outer-space adventures, associating with an ensemble of extraterrestrial figures including Tigorr, Primus, and Demonia — suggesting membership in or connection to a space-faring group operating at the fringes of the DC cosmos.

A creature of the Bronze Age cosmos, Harpis soared into DC's universe in 1981, debuting in Green Lantern #141 under the hands of creators Laurie Sutton and Rodin Rodriguez. This intriguing figure carved out a niche across the early-to-mid eighties, sharing pages with a vivid roster of alien and otherworldly characters — Tigorr, Demonia, Kalista, Nimbus, and Primus among them — suggesting a life lived at the wilder, more cosmic edges of the DC universe. Notable enough to earn an entry in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe and to turn up alongside the cast of The New Teen Titans, Harpis may clock in at a modest twelve appearances, but that's exactly the kind of rare, deep-cut discovery that makes Bronze Age collecting such a rewarding hunt.
