Metricale

Stepping out of the Bronze Age pages of Lion and Thunder in 1973, Metricale is a quietly intriguing piece of British comics history, brought to life by the creative pairing of Chris Lowder and José Muñoz. IPC's anthology tradition put this character in vivid company — sharing adventures with the likes of Thor, Woldrad, and Haffnor — and the fact that Metricale's footprint stretches all the way to the Judge Dredd Megazine in the modern era speaks to a remarkable, if modest, longevity across five decades. With only a handful of catalogued appearances, Metricale is a genuine collector's curiosity: the kind of rare Bronze Age find that rewards the digger who loves the deep cuts of British comics as much as the headlines.
