The Comet

Streaking onto the scene in 1991's Hawkworld Annual #2, The Comet is a Copper/Modern Age creation from the inventive pairing of John Ostrander and Gary Kwapisz — a character born at the intersection of DC's expansive universe and the bold ambitions of the Impact! line. With appearances catalogued across Who's Who in the !mpact! Universe, Guy Gardner, and Hawkworld Annual, this is a character whose footprint spans some genuinely interesting corners of early-'90s comics, sharing pages with the likes of The Shield, The Jaguar, and The Black Hood. A slim but intriguing presence, The Comet represents exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through the Copper Age so rewarding — a character worth tracking down for fans who love the era's experimental energy.
