Lionmane

Prowling into the Copper Age of DC Comics, Lionmane made a fierce first impression in Hawkman #5 in 1986, courtesy of creators Tony Isabella and Richard Howell. This rare, compact corner of DC history puts the character in genuinely distinguished company — sharing pages with Hawkman, Hawkwoman, Shayera Thal, and even Green Lantern, a roster that speaks to the rich, adventurous world they inhabit. Notable enough to earn an entry in Who's Who: Update '87, Lionmane may have a slender catalog footprint, but that only makes each appearance a collector's treasure worth tracking down.
