Sander Amster

A Platinum Age figure from DC's earliest anthology era, Sander Amster debuted in 1935's New Fun #6, moving through a pulp-tinged, supernatural world alongside occult investigators Dr. Occult and Rose Psychic.

Sander Amster is a genuine piece of comics history, stepping onto the page in 1935's New Fun #6 — one of DC's earliest anthology titles — making him a true Platinum Age original at a time when the American comic book was still finding its own identity. Created by Leger and Reuths, he inhabits a wonderfully atmospheric corner of those early DC pages, sharing adventures with the likes of the mysterious Dr. Occult and Rose Psychic, which tells you something about the eerie, pulp-tinged world he moves through. His appearances span New Fun and More Fun Comics, foundational titles for the medium itself, and the fact that his catalog trail stretches all the way to 1986 gives him a quietly remarkable longevity. For collectors who love digging into the deep roots of DC's history, Sander Amster is exactly the kind of discovery that makes vintage anthology hunting so rewarding.
