Sledge

Sledge is a hard-hitting DC villain who debuted as a physical powerhouse antagonist in the pages of Guy Gardner: Warrior, going up against the brash former Green Lantern and other heavy hitters during the mid-1990s gritty era of DC storytelling.

Crashing onto the scene in 1994 courtesy of Beau Smith and J. H. Williams III, Sledge is a hard-edged DC villain forged in the gritty Copper/Modern Age and built to go toe-to-toe with some serious heavy hitters — sharing pages with Guy Gardner himself, Green Lantern, and even John Henry Irons. Though his catalog footprint is compact, his appearances across Guy Gardner: Warrior and the ominous Underworld Unleashed: Patterns of Fear tie him to one of the era's most raucous corners of the DC Universe. For collectors hunting the rougher, more muscle-bound side of mid-'90s DC, Sledge is exactly the kind of bruising find that makes digging through back-issue bins so rewarding.
