Talisman

Born from the creative partnership of Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz in 1986, Talisman made their debut in the pages of Strange — a title that would prove a fitting home for a character whose catalog footprint stretches across an impressive 34 years into 2020. Published by Editions Lug, this is a figure rooted in the Copper Age yet with staying power that speaks for itself, turning up most frequently in Strange and Doctor Strange — mystical corners of the comics universe where the company is always intriguing. Sharing pages with the likes of Peter Parker, Spider-Man, Shaman, Michael Twoyoungmen, and Elizabeth Twoyoungmen places Talisman in some genuinely compelling narrative circles, and for collectors drawn to the stranger, more esoteric edges of the medium, that's a calling card worth heeding.
