Phillip Karnowsky

A menacing presence lurking in the shadows of Metropolis, Phillip Karnowsky made his entrance in the landmark Superman Annual #2 (1988), brought to life by the creative team of Roger Stern and Ron Frenz during comics' Copper Age. His handful of appearances across fifteen years place him squarely in the gritty urban world of the Superman titles, where he shares dangerous company with the likes of Superman himself, the formidable Barrage, and street-level stalwarts Captain Maggie Sawyer and Dan Turpin. Rare and elusive in the catalog, Phillip Karnowsky is exactly the kind of deep-cut DC figure that rewards the dedicated collector who loves hunting down the corners of Metropolis that casual fans never find.
