Herkules
Few characters carry a name as mythically charged as Herkules, who burst onto the Silver Age scene in Hit Comics #7 in 1966, brought to life by none other than the legendary duo of Steve Ditko and Stan Lee. Published by BSV - Williams across a compact but memorable run through 1969, this is a character whose pages crackle with the creative energy of one of comics' most celebrated creative partnerships. With three of his six catalogued appearances recognized as key issues, Herkules punches well above his weight for collectors, and the company he keeps β sharing adventures with the likes of Thor, Die Spinne, and Peter Parker β places him squarely at the heart of an era brimming with iconic figures. A rare gem of Silver Age publishing history, Herkules is exactly the kind of discovery that reminds you why digging through the corners of the comics world is always worth it.
