Lancer

A product of the fertile independent comics scene of the mid-1980s, Lancer debuted in Eclipse Comics' Surge #1 in 1984, brought to life by the accomplished team of Mark Evanier and Rick Hoberg. This Bronze Age creation shares their pages with a colorful cast — Surge, Crossfire, Sham, and Rainbow among them — suggesting the kind of richly populated, action-driven storytelling that made Eclipse such an exciting alternative to the mainstream publishers of the era. With appearances also in the nostalgic Siegel and Shuster: Dateline 1930s, Lancer touches two distinct corners of comics history, making them a quietly intriguing find for collectors who love hunting the rewarding margins of the independent Bronze Age.
