Who is Le Sphinx?

Emerging from the Modern Age in 2002, Le Sphinx is a compelling figure in the Urban Comics catalog, brought into existence by the celebrated creative talents of Neil Gaiman, Dominique Mathieu, and Dave McKean. This character moves through some genuinely prestigious company — sharing pages with Batman, Robin, the Joker, Bruce Wayne, and Edward Nigma — placing Le Sphinx squarely within the shadowy, intrigue-laden world of Gotham's finest stories. With appearances spanning a remarkable stretch from 2002 through 2026 across titles like Batman Silence 2, Batman - Dark City, and Batman - Cher Detective, there's clearly something enduring and worth discovering here. For collectors drawn to the darker, more atmospheric corners of Batman's universe, Le Sphinx is a name worth seeking out.
