John Colt

Debuting in the pages of FemForce #1 in 1985, John Colt is a Bronze Age creation from the minds of Bill Black and Mark Heike — a character whose origins stretch back to the indie comics scene before finding a place in the Wildstorm corner of the Image universe. With appearances across DV8 and the Wildstorm Universe Sourcebook, he's a figure who connects the scrappy, creator-driven energy of the mid-eighties to the explosive superhero landscape of the nineties, sharing adventures alongside characters like Rita Farrar, Threshold, and Nicole Callahan. His catalog footprint may be compact, but it includes a collector-significant key issue — a reminder that sometimes the most intriguing characters are the ones that reward a little digging.
