Scarecrow

Born in the thick of the Golden Age, Scarecrow made their debut in Captain Battle Jr. #1 in 1943 — a wartime comic world crackling with patriotic energy and pulp adventure — before a publishing journey that would stretch an remarkable seven-plus decades all the way to 2016. What makes this character particularly intriguing is the eclectic company they keep: sharing pages with Golden Age stalwart Bart Hill and the Daredevil of Lev Gleason lore, as well as Erik Larsen's Savage Dragon mainstay Malcolm Dragon, suggesting a character whose history bridges eras in genuinely surprising ways. With appearances spread across Savage Dragon, Daredevil, and Captain Battle Jr., Scarecrow occupies that rare, collector-friendly niche of a Golden Age original who found new life under the Image banner. For fans who love digging into the deeper corners of comics history, this is exactly the kind of rediscovered gem worth tracking down.
