Who is Karshon?

Karshon is a mysterious aquatic creature from DC's Silver Age who debuted as a threat in Green Lantern's world, crossing paths with Hal Jordan and other dangerous adversaries including The Shark.

A creature of the Silver Age deep, Karshon swam into DC Comics lore in 1964, conjured by the legendary team of Gardner Fox and Gil Kane in the pages of Green Lantern #28. Over six decades this rare, enigmatic figure has surfaced across titles including Action Comics Weekly and DC Finest: Green Lantern: The Defeat of Green Lantern, keeping dangerous company alongside Hal Jordan, Carol Ferris, and the monstrous likes of The Shark and The Shaggy Man. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Karshon is the kind of deep-cut discovery that reminds devoted collectors just how wild and wonderfully strange the Silver Age DC universe truly was.
