The Time Being

Few characters make a brief run feel this charged — The Time Being burst onto the scene in 1997, a creation of Gary Carlson and Dan Preece that landed squarely in the vibrant, nostalgia-soaked world of Big Bang Comics, Image's love letter to the superhero traditions of earlier eras. With only a handful of catalog appearances, this is a rare find, sharing pages with a distinguished roster that includes The Knight Watchman, Ultiman, and The Blitz — some of Big Bang's most celebrated figures. The Time Being may be elusive, but for collectors who prize the hidden corners of the Modern Age, that scarcity is precisely the appeal.
