Jack Hughes

Stepping out of the late-1980s independent comics scene, Jack Hughes made his entrance in AC Comics' Curse of the She-Cat #1 (1989), a Copper Age debut courtesy of creator Bill Black. AC was a publisher with a genuine love for classic heroic adventure, and Hughes finds himself in lively company — sharing pages with the likes of She-Cat, Captain Paragon Jr., and Colt across a tight run of issues. With only a handful of catalog appearances spanning She-Cat and Curse of the She-Cat, he's a rare find for collectors who appreciate the charm and scrappiness of indie superhero publishing from that era.
