Jupiter

Jupiter, the king of the Roman gods, crossed from ancient mythology into DC's Silver Age in Action Comics #267, bringing his divine authority to bear in stories alongside Superman and Linda Lee. His mythological role as ruler of the heavens gives his rare appearances an air of classical grandeur.

A figure drawn straight from myth and into the Silver Age, Jupiter made their DC Comics debut in 1960's Action Comics #267, brought to life by the legendary team of Otto Binder and Wayne Boring. This rare presence — with one key issue among their handful of appearances across Action Comics and Superman — shares the page with some of DC's most iconic names, including Superman and Linda Lee, lending an air of classical grandeur to the stories they inhabit. Spanning an impressive stretch from 1960 all the way to 2014, Jupiter may be a rare sight in the long history of DC's Silver Age, but that scarcity only makes each appearance feel all the more like a find for the dedicated collector.
