Lionheart

Lionheart roared onto the Marvel scene in 1990, a product of the Copper Age's bold, imaginative energy, debuting in Brute Force #1 courtesy of writer Simon Furman and artist José Delbo. This four-issue series brought together a colorful cast — including the likes of Hip Hop, Wreckless, Surfstreak, and Soar — making for one of the era's more memorably offbeat corners of the Marvel universe. With only a handful of appearances to their name, Lionheart is a true deep-cut discovery, the kind of character that rewards the dedicated collector who loves unearthing the quirky, ambitious experiments that define what made early-'90s Marvel so wonderfully unpredictable.
