Springer

Springer burst onto the independent comics scene in 1986, debuting in the very first issue of Faze One Fazers from AC Comics — a publisher beloved by collectors for championing offbeat, creator-driven heroes during the Copper Age. With a debut issue that carries genuine key-issue status, Springer arrived alongside a colorful cast including Girl-Bot, Non-Man, Dr. Franklin Faze, and Carbonite, making Faze One Fazers a wonderfully eclectic corner of the AC universe. Their footprint extends across FemForce and even The Vic Bridges Fazers Sketchbook and Fact File, a testament to the passion of co-creators Vic Bridges and Bill Black for building out this world with real care. A short-run gem with a dedicated cult following, Springer is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through Copper Age independents so rewarding.
