Paragon John

Bursting onto the scene in 1993 courtesy of creators Fred Burke and Paris Cullins, Paragon John is a Copper/Modern Age Marvel creation who made his mark in the pages of Hyperkind — one of the more intriguing corners of early-'90s Marvel experimentation. His eight catalogued appearances span Hyperkind, Hokum & Hex, and Hyperkind Unleashed!, placing him squarely in a bold, ambitious pocket of the Marvel universe where he shares adventures with the likes of Amokk, Armata, Dyan Devine, and others. A compact but vivid presence from a genuinely fascinating era of comics, Paragon John is exactly the kind of discovery that reminds collectors why digging into the deeper shelves is always worth it.
