Who is Mano?

Born in the pages of Blackhawk #229 in 1967, Mano is a Silver Age DC creation from the fertile imaginations of Bob Haney and Dick Dillin, stepping into a universe already buzzing with capes and cosmic adventure. Over nearly six decades of DC history, this figure has kept extraordinary company — sharing pages with the likes of Green Lantern, The Flash, Batman, and the formidable Tharok — signaling a character woven into some of comics' most ambitious crossroads. Enshrined in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe, Mano earned a place among DC's officially catalogued legends, and appearances in The Brave and the Bold and DC Universe: Legacies cement a legacy that stretches from the Silver Age all the way to the present day. With a key issue to their name and nearly sixty years of publication history, Mano is exactly the kind of deep-cut DC gem that rewards the curious collector willing to dig a little deeper.
