Jack Wheeler

A product of DC's bold late-1980s reinvention era, Jack Wheeler debuted in Superman #7 in 1987 — brought to life by the legendary John Byrne during one of comics' most creatively charged periods. Over a compact but notable run through Action Comics Weekly, Superman, and Action Comics, Wheeler carved out a place in the DC Universe rubbing shoulders with some of the publisher's biggest names, sharing pages with Superman, Green Lantern, Bruce Wayne, and the cult favorite Wild Dog. With 34 catalog appearances and at least one collector-recognized key issue to his name, he's the kind of Copper Age discovery that rewards the dedicated back-issue hunter — a genuine piece of DC history from a transformative moment in superhero comics.
