Sickle

A product of DC's late-1980s Copper Age, Sickle made their entrance in the pages of Who's Who: Update '87 — that beloved DC encyclopedia series that existed precisely to spotlight characters worth knowing. With a name that evokes Cold War iconography and a catalog presence rooted in Suicide Squad, Sickle keeps some distinctly charged company, sharing pages with the likes of Hammer, Molotov, Boris Ulyanov, and Bolshoi. Rare appearances make Sickle a genuine deep-cut discovery for the dedicated DC collector hunting the corners of that politically-charged late-Reagan era.
