Reggie Jackson

Stepping onto the DC stage in 1990's Hawk and Dove #11 — courtesy of the dynamic creative team of Barbara Kesel, Karl Kesel, and Greg Guler — Reggie Jackson is a Copper Age curiosity with one seriously eye-catching debut. With only a handful of catalog appearances spread across Action Comics, Adventures of Superman, and Hawk and Dove, this is a rare find, the kind of background gem that completists love to track down. What makes the debut especially memorable is the extraordinary company on those pages: the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Superman himself share the same issues, making Reggie's corner of the DC universe a wonderfully eclectic one. Four appearances may be modest, but in comics, rarity has its own kind of charm.
