Prince Charles

A royal figure who made his comic debut in the pages of Green Arrow #43 in 1991 — courtesy of creators Mike Grell and Denys Cowan — Prince Charles brings a distinctly real-world presence to the Copper Age of comics. With appearances spanning an impressive 25 years across both Green Arrow and the legendary British anthology 2000 AD, this character bridges two very different comics traditions on either side of the Atlantic. He keeps some notable company in the pages he inhabits, sharing adventures with the likes of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and Sarah, Duchess of York. A modest four appearances in the catalog makes every one of them a find worth tracking down for the collector who loves the unexpected corners of comics history.
