Lieutenan Burt Rensaleer

A minor but memorable figure from DC's late-'80s anthology era, Lieutenant Burt Rensaleer stepped onto the page in 1988's Action Comics Weekly #611, brought to life by the creative team of Martin Pasko and the legendary Dan Spiegle. His brief catalog footprint of three appearances places him firmly in the Copper Age world of Action Comics Weekly — that ambitious weekly anthology format where DC packed serialized adventures cheek-by-jowl. Sharing those jam-packed pages with the likes of Green Lantern, Arisia, and Catwoman's alter ego Selina Kyle makes for impressive company, and for fans who love hunting the corners of DC's rich anthology history, Rensaleer is exactly the kind of hidden gem that rewards a deep dive.
