Lightning

Born in the waning days of the Silver Age, Lightning made their debut in the pages of T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents #20 in 1969, courtesy of the creative team of Steve Skeates and Mike Sekowsky — a pedigree that signals some serious comics craftsmanship behind this character's origins. Published under the Alan Class banner, Lightning shares their adventures with a compelling roster including Dynamo, NoMan, and the rest of that action-packed T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents world, lending an air of spy-fi excitement to every appearance. What's genuinely intriguing here is the breadth of the publishing footprint — titles like Uncanny Tales, Amazing Stories of Suspense, and Halo Jones suggest a character who traveled across some wonderfully eclectic corners of the Alan Class catalog over a span stretching all the way to 2013. A modest appearance count makes each issue a small discovery worth hunting down for the dedicated collector who loves the overlooked edges of Silver Age history.
