Who is Rex Tyler?

Rex Tyler is the alter ego of Hourman, a DC Comics hero who gained superhuman strength and speed for exactly one hour by taking a pill called Miraclo. Published here in French by Arédit-Artima, he is a founding member of the Justice Society of America.

Rex Tyler made his mark in the Bronze Age, debuting in Flash #37 in 1978 under the hands of Paul Levitz, Paul Kupperberg, and Joe Staton — a creative pedigree that signals real craft behind the character. Published across a remarkable span stretching all the way to 2025, Rex has proven quietly enduring, sharing pages with heavyweights like Green Lantern, Flash, Black Canary, Bruce Wayne, and the Atom. His appearances span titles including Dawn of Justice Society of America and the French-language La Ligue de Justice, giving him a genuinely international footprint. With nearly five decades of publication history, Rex Tyler is the kind of deep-catalog figure that rewards the curious collector willing to dig beneath the surface.
