Sam Scudder

Sam Scudder was a small-time criminal who discovered how to trap images—and people—inside mirrors, becoming the Mirror Master, a recurring rogues-gallery nemesis of the Silver Age Flash debuting in 1959.

Born in the pages of The Brave and the Bold #22 in 1959, Sam Scudder is a genuine Silver Age creation from DC Comics, conjured by the legendary team of Robert Kanigher and Russ Heath at the height of that era's imaginative brilliance. Over more than six decades of publication, he's woven himself into the fabric of DC's mythology — earning a place in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe, that ultimate roll call of characters who truly matter. His adventures unfold most often in The Flash, where he shares the page with icons like Barry Allen, Batman, and Green Lantern, keeping some of the finest company the DC universe has to offer. With a key issue to his name and 46 catalog appearances spanning from 1959 all the way to 2022, Sam Scudder is exactly the kind of deep-cut Silver Age figure that rewards the curious collector willing to dig in.
