The Banshee

Steve Ditko conjured The Banshee into existence in the very first issue of Charlton's Blue Beetle in 1967 — a Silver Age debut that puts this character right at the creative heart of one of comics history's most distinctive independent publishers. Across a sixteen-year span, The Banshee shares the page with some of Charlton's most celebrated figures, including Blue Beetle, The Question, and Vic Sage, placing them in genuinely rarefied company. With only five catalog appearances, this is a rare, concentrated presence — and the fact that two of those issues carry recognized key status makes every single one count. For collectors with a passion for Ditko's Charlton era, The Banshee is exactly the kind of find that rewards digging deep.
