Steve Dickering

Steve Dickering made his entrance in the Bronze Age debut of The Comet #1 (1983), brought to life by the legendary pairing of writer Bill DuBay and artist Carmine Infantino — a creative team that alone signals this is a character worth seeking out. Published under Archie's superhero banner, Steve shares his adventures with a remarkable roster including The Hangman, Joe Higgins, Fireball, and The Black Hood, placing him squarely in the heart of Archie's costumed universe. His presence across both The Comet and New Crusaders speaks to a staying power that stretches across three decades, from 1983 all the way to 2013. Catalog appearances may be slim, but with Infantino's linework at his origin and that kind of company on the page, Steve Dickering is a genuine hidden gem for fans of superhero history outside the Big Two.
