Mockingbird

Emerging from the vibrant anthology pages of DC's Action Comics Weekly in 1988, Mockingbird is a Copper Age creation brought to life by the sharp crime-comics sensibilities of Max Allan Collins and Terry Beatty. With just 11 catalog appearances, this is a character steeped in the kind of gritty, street-level atmosphere that defined DC's late-'80s experimentation with serialized anthology storytelling. Mockingbird shares those weekly pages with the likes of Hal Jordan's Green Lantern and a cast of compelling supporting players — vivid company that speaks to the eclectic, ambitious spirit of Action Comics Weekly as a whole. A hidden gem for collectors who love digging into the Copper Age's more unconventional corners.
