Tommy Carma

Stepping out of the gritty Gotham shadows of 1986, Tommy Carma made their debut in Batman #402, introduced by the sharp creative pairing of Max Collins and Jim Starlin during a landmark era for the Dark Knight. It's rarefied air to share pages with Batman, Robin, Jason Todd, Alfred Pennyworth, and Bruce Wayne — the very heart of the Bat-mythos — and Tommy Carma occupies that world with a presence that has echoed across nearly four decades of DC publishing. A rare find for the dedicated Copper Age collector, this is exactly the kind of character whose modest appearance count makes each issue feel like a genuine discovery.
