Starkey

A product of DC's beloved Showcase anthology format, Starkey made their entrance in 1993 — right at the cusp of the Modern Age — courtesy of the creative team of Gary Cohn, Dan Mishkin, and Pete Moriarty. With only a handful of catalog appearances, this is a rare, blink-and-you'll-miss-it corner of the DC universe, the kind of gem that makes flipping through old anthology issues such a rewarding treasure hunt. The company Starkey keeps is genuinely impressive for a character of such limited exposure — sharing pages with the likes of Selina Kyle, Robin, and Blue Devil speaks to the rich, eclectic world Showcase '93 brought together under one roof. For collectors who love unearthing the road-less-traveled characters of early-'90s DC, Starkey is exactly the sort of discovery worth seeking out.
