Tannarak

A creature of shadow and mystique born in the Bronze Age of DC Comics, Tannarak made his entrance in 1982's The Saga of Swamp Thing #5, conjured by the creative team of Martin Pasko and Tom Yeates. His footprint stretches from that celebrated horror series into Action Comics Weekly and even earns him a place in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe — the kind of canonical acknowledgment that marks a character as genuinely part of the DC fabric. Along the way he shares pages with some of the publisher's heaviest hitters: Superman, Batman, Bruce Wayne, Roy Harper, and the enigmatic Phantom Stranger. Rare in appearance but intriguing in pedigree, Tannarak is exactly the sort of deep-cut discovery that reminds you why digging through DC's Bronze Age corners is always worth the effort.
