Joe Martin

Stepping out of the mid-nineties DC Universe in Underworld Unleashed: Patterns of Fear #1, Joe Martin was brought to life by Roger Stern and Anthony Williams at a moment when DC was pushing its storytelling into darker, more complex territory. Over a span that stretches impressively from 1995 into 2018, he's kept remarkable company — sharing pages with icons like Superman, Lex Luthor, and Green Lantern across titles including Adventures of Superman and Superman. Modest in total appearances but persistent across decades, Joe Martin is the kind of supporting-universe figure that rewards the dedicated reader who loves tracing the connective tissue of the DC cosmos.
