Jeremy Karne

A creature of the Modern Age's darker corners of the DC Universe, Jeremy Karne stepped onto the page in 2006 courtesy of writer Bill Willingham's Shadowpact — one of DC's most delightfully strange supernatural ensemble books. With only a handful of catalogued appearances, Karne is very much a figure of the shadows, the kind of enigmatic presence that makes dedicated readers of occult-tinged DC comics sit up and take notice. Sharing those eerie pages with the likes of Detective Chimp, The Phantom Stranger, and Blue Devil tells you everything about the wild, wonderfully weird world this character inhabits — and for collectors hunting the mystical margins of the Modern Age, Shadowpact #1 is exactly the kind of debut worth tracking down.
