Inspector Richard Trent

Inspector Richard Trent is a law-enforcement figure operating in AC Comics' superhero universe, crossing paths with heroes such as Scarlet Scorpion, Dragonfly, and The Masquerader across AC's interconnected titles.

Inspector Richard Trent made his entrance in the Bronze Age independent comics scene, debuting in Americomics #4 (1983) courtesy of creator Rik Levins and the scrappy, fan-beloved AC Comics stable. A law-and-order figure navigating a world populated by colorful characters like Scarlet Scorpion, Dragonfly, and The Masquerader, Trent turns up across AC's interconnected titles — Americomics, Dragonfly, and Nightveil — making him a quiet connective thread in that publisher's lively superhero tapestry. His appearances are few, which only adds to the charm for completists hunting the corners of Bronze Age indie publishing where hidden gems like this one quietly reward the dedicated collector.
