Hatch-22

Hatch-22 is a Bronze Age Marvel curiosity with the rarest of origins — a debut in Jack Kirby's own 1977 Black Panther #1, one of the King's most imaginative solo flights. Sharing those early pages with T'Challa, Princess Zanda, and Abner Little places Hatch-22 squarely in Kirby's wildly inventive corner of the Marvel universe, a world of cosmic strangeness and pulp adventure that remains unlike anything else from the era. With only a handful of catalog appearances, this is a deep-cut character for the dedicated collector — the kind of figure whose scarcity makes every appearance a small treasure worth tracking down.
