Val Kaliban

A rare find in DC's sprawling universe, Val Kaliban made their entrance in 1986's Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe — that beloved Copper Age encyclopedia that codified so much of DC's rich mythology. With only a handful of catalog appearances spread across a quarter-century, Val Kaliban is the kind of deep-cut character who surfaces in the shadowy corners of Gotham, sharing pages with luminaries like Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, and Batgirl in Batman: Gotham Knights. The rarity here is part of the appeal — for the dedicated collector who wants to know every name in DC's Definitive Directory, Val Kaliban is a genuine piece of the puzzle.
