Paragon

Bursting onto the scene in 1987 courtesy of creator Rik Levins, Paragon is a Copper Age hero published by AC Comics — the indie publisher that built a devoted following with its celebration of classic and original heroic archetypes. With a dedicated solo title to their name alongside starring roles in FemForce and The Armageddon Factor, this character carved out a genuine niche in the independent comics landscape of the late '80s and early '90s. Paragon shares the page with a colorful roster of AC stalwarts — Ms. Victory, Stardust, Charlie Starrett, Page Connors, and Mara — making them a connected figure in that publisher's tight-knit heroic universe. For collectors who love digging into the vibrant world beyond the Big Two, Paragon is exactly the kind of gem that rewards the search.
