Rocket Red

Rocket Red burst onto the DC Universe in 1987, debuting in The Green Lantern Corps #208 courtesy of creators Steve Englehart and Joe Staton — dropping this armored Soviet hero right into the thick of the Copper Age's expansive cosmic storytelling. Their first appearance is already flagged as a key issue for collectors, making that debut worth tracking down. Sharing pages with the likes of Green Lantern, Ch'p, and Salakk, Rocket Red keeps genuinely stellar company from the very start.
