Ocean Master

A villain of the deep with a flair for the dramatic, this Ocean Master surfaces in the pages of Semic S.A.'s French-language catalog beginning with JLA #1 in 1998 — a Morrison-era debut that places them squarely in the modern age of comics storytelling. With only a handful of catalog appearances spanning into 2021, including a turn in Le Monde de Flashpoint, this is a figure whose presence is rare and therefore all the more striking. Sharing pages with titans like Aquaman, Wonder Woman, and Bruce Wayne makes for extraordinary company, and any collector with an eye for the overlooked will find these issues worth seeking out.
