Rath

Rath made their entrance in one of DC's most beloved reference works — Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe #1 in 1985, brought into being by two Bronze Age titans, Marv Wolfman and Len Wein. Over a surprisingly resilient 36-year span, this DC figure has turned up in some genuinely compelling corners of the publisher's darker, more mystical landscape, appearing most notably alongside the supernatural ensemble of Justice League Dark and within the brooding pages of The Spectre. The company Rath keeps is rarefied indeed — sharing issues with the likes of Green Lantern, Aquaman, The Flash, and the infernal Abnegazar and Ghast speaks to a character woven into DC's cosmic and occult tapestry. With 12 catalog appearances, a key-issue credit to their name, and a debut that planted them firmly in DC's definitive mythology from day one, Rath is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that rewards the curious collector.
