Iron Snail

A wonderfully offbeat creation from China Miéville's celebrated Dial H run, Iron Snail crashed onto the Modern Age DC scene in 2012 — a bizarre, imaginative hero born from one of the most inventive and literary comic runs of its era. With only a handful of appearances, this is the kind of gloriously strange, blink-and-you'll-miss-it character that makes Dial H such a treasure for collectors, sharing pages with the likes of Superman and Green Lantern while occupying its own delightfully weird corner of the DC Universe. If you love the weird, the wonderful, and the wonderfully obscure, Iron Snail is exactly the kind of discovery that reminds you why digging through Modern Age DC is always worth it.
