Homer Gint

A Silver Age curiosity with surprising staying power, Homer Gint made his debut in DC's Strange Adventures #159 in 1963, conjured by the legendary team of Gardner Fox and Gil Kane. What's remarkable is that a character born in that era of imaginative, anything-goes science fiction storytelling would resurface decades later in Threshold, keeping company with the likes of Jediah Caul and Captain K'rot well into 2014 — a span of over fifty years. With appearances across Strange Adventures, Five-Score Comic Monthly, and Threshold, Gint is a quietly persistent figure threading through DC's history, the kind of deep-cut discovery that reminds you just how vast and rewarding the publisher's back catalogue truly is.
