Louis Petrocci

Louis Petrocci steps out of the shadows in DC's 1987 launch of The Spectre, a Copper Age series that brought genuine darkness and supernatural menace back to one of comics' most haunting corners. Created by the atmospheric team of Doug Moench and Gene Colan, Louis debuts in the company of heavy hitters — Jim Corrigan, the Spectre himself, and the enigmatic Madame Xanadu — which tells you something about the weight of the world he inhabits. With only a handful of catalog appearances, he's a rare find for collectors who love the texture of a well-crafted supporting cast, the kind of character who makes a universe feel lived-in and real.
