The Battery

Crackling out of the Bronze Age in 1974, The Battery made their debut in E-Man #3, courtesy of the creative duo Nicola Cuti and Joe Staton — the imaginative team behind one of Charlton Comics' most beloved cult series. Though appearances in the catalog are few, this character inhabits a wonderfully offbeat corner of comics history, sharing pages with E-Man, Michael Mauser, Nova Kane, and a colorful cast that made the E-Man universe such a distinctive delight. For collectors with a soft spot for Charlton's quirky, freewheeling Bronze Age output, The Battery is exactly the kind of find that rewards digging deeper.
