Who is The Monocle?

The Monocle is a DC supervillain who debuted during the Bronze Age, notable enough to earn an entry in DC's official Who's Who directory. He operates in the orbit of major Justice League heroes, establishing himself as a recognizable threat in that corner of the DC universe.

A villain sharp enough to earn a spot in DC's legendary Who's Who directory, The Monocle made his entrance in the Bronze Age pages of Justice League of America #195 — a debut crafted by the formidable team of Gerry Conway and George Pérez, no less. That first appearance is collector-recognized as a key issue, which speaks to the lasting impression this character made right out of the gate. He keeps genuinely elite company, sharing adventures with the likes of Superman, Green Lantern, Hawkman, and The Flash — the absolute A-list of the DC Universe. A compact but choice presence in the catalog, The Monocle is one of those Bronze Age finds that rewards the deep-diving collector.
