Merlin

Emerging from the fertile indie comics landscape of the early 1990s, this Merlin made their debut in StormQuest #2 (1994), brought to life by the creative team of Tom and Mary Bierbaum and Greg Land for Caliber Press. A product of the Copper/Modern Age, Merlin inhabits a compact but intriguing corner of the independent comics world, sharing adventures with a compelling cast that includes Shrike, Shalimar, and Barricade. With only a handful of appearances across a short-lived but distinctive run, this is the kind of character that rewards the dedicated hunter of overlooked indie gems — a quiet mystery waiting to be rediscovered.
