The Prankster

Debuting in the pages of Thunderbolt #60 in 1967, The Prankster is a Silver Age curiosity with a genuinely eclectic footprint — born from the creative partnership of Sergius O'Shaughnessy and Pat Boyette, and later turning up in the affectionate, humor-soaked world of Fred Hembeck's celebrated comics commentary series. With a catalog presence that stretches from 1967 to 1980 and two key-issue appearances to their name, this is a character whose modest count belies real collector intrigue — sharing pages with luminaries like Green Lantern, Hawkman, Starman, and Arthur Curry along the way. Small in numbers but rich in Silver Age charm, The Prankster is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes digging through back issues so rewarding.
