Samuel Tanner

A minor but memorable piece of DC's Bronze Age tapestry, Samuel Tanner made his entrance in Action Comics #458 in 1976, brought to life by the celebrated team of Elliot S! Maggin and Mike Grell. With only a handful of catalog appearances — including one collector-recognized key issue — he's a compact figure whose footprint in DC lore is nonetheless cemented by the extraordinary company he keeps: his pages are shared with Superman, Batman, and the enigmatic Blackrock. His inclusion in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe is the quiet badge of honor that tells seasoned collectors he earned his place in the official record of DC's rich mythology.
