Merlin

Merlin is a supporting character in DC's supernatural horror sphere, operating within the shadowy world of Night Force alongside Baron Winters and other occult figures. Introduced in Marv Wolfman and George Pérez's New Teen Titans, Merlin inhabits the eerie, atmospheric corners of DC's Bronze Age horror landscape.

Born in the pages of Marv Wolfman and George Pérez's The New Teen Titans #21 in 1982, this Bronze Age DC character named Merlin carved out a niche in some genuinely atmospheric corners of the DC Universe. Most of their appearances are tied to the shadowy world of The Night Force, Wolfman's cult supernatural series, where Merlin keeps eerie company with the likes of Baron Winters, Vanessa van Helsing, and Dr. Donovan Caine — a roster that signals this is comics horror at its most intriguing. With a presence stretching across roughly 35 years and pages shared even with Superman himself, Merlin may be a rare find in the catalog, but those seven appearances touch some truly compelling material worth hunting down.
