Roderik Rose

A product of DC's fertile Silver Age, Roderik Rose made his entrance in the pages of The Brave and the Bold #80 in 1968 — a debut issue brought to life by the legendary pairing of writer Bob Haney and artist Neal Adams, which alone makes it a collector's treasure. Over a span stretching all the way to 2010, this figure turns up in some of DC's most storied titles — Justice League of America, Supergirl, and Superman — keeping rarefied company alongside the likes of Batman, Superman, Lex Luthor, and the fearsome Hellgrammite. Six appearances may make Rose a rare sighting in the DC universe, but that Haney/Adams pedigree and those marquee surroundings ensure every appearance carries real weight for the dedicated hunter of Silver Age gems.
