Photon

Emerging from the fertile independent comics scene of 1986, Photon is a Copper Age creation of Vic Bridges and Bill Black — two names synonymous with AC Comics' distinctive brand of superhero storytelling. With only a handful of catalog appearances spread across Venture and The Vic Bridges Fazers Sketchbook and Fact File, this is a rare, niche character whose brief existence shares space with an intriguing roster including Blade, Halftron, and Cherry White. A genuine artifact of the mid-eighties indie boom, Photon is the kind of discovery that reminds collectors why digging through the lesser-known corners of the Copper Age is always worth the effort.
