Who is Pieface?

Pieface is the nickname of Thomas Kalmaku, an Inuit aircraft mechanic at Ferris Aircraft who became Hal Jordan's close friend and confidant — one of the few civilians who knew the Green Lantern's secret identity.

Few supporting characters in the Silver Age carry as much warmth and longevity as Pieface, who first stepped onto the page in Green Lantern #16 in 1962, brought to life by the legendary creative team of John Broome and Gil Kane. A fixture of DC's emerald corner of the universe, Pieface has kept remarkable company over the decades — sharing adventures with Hal Jordan, Carol Ferris, and cosmic luminaries like Tomar-Re and Abin Sur. With three key-issue appearances to their name and a presence in the catalog stretching all the way from the Kennedy era to 2025, this is a character whose staying power quietly speaks for itself. For collectors tracing the full human (and beyond) tapestry of the Green Lantern mythos, Pieface is a name worth knowing.
