Helio

A Silver Age creation from the fertile imagination of Pete Morisi, Helio burst onto the scene in 1966 within the pages of Charlton's Thunderbolt — a scrappy, independent publisher that punched well above its weight during comics' most colorful era. Sharing those adventurous pages with the likes of Thunderbolt, Crunch Wilson, and Rick Strong, Helio kept genuinely exciting company across a publishing run that stretched into the late 1970s. With only eight catalog appearances, this is a rare gem for the dedicated Charlton devotee — the kind of deep-cut character that makes hunting through back-issue bins such a rewarding obsession.
