Sideshow

Sideshow stepped onto the page in 1994's Shadow Cabinet #0, born from the visionary Milestone Media imprint under the hands of Robert L. Washington III, Dwayne McDuffie, and John Paul Leon — a creative pedigree that alone makes any appearance worth tracking down. A Copper/Modern Age figure with a surprisingly long trail stretching nearly three decades, Sideshow turns up in the company of heavy hitters like Hardware and Dharma, and across landmark titles including Blood Syndicate and Justice League of America. Milestone's universe was always rich with characters who rewarded deeper digging, and Sideshow — rare enough in the catalog to feel like a genuine find — is exactly the kind of discovery that reminds collectors why hunting through back issues is such a joy.
