Vladimir Mikoyan

Emerging from the Copper Age energy of DC's cosmic corner, Vladimir Mikoyan made his debut in The Green Lantern Corps #209 in 1987, courtesy of the creative team of Steve Englehart and Joe Staton. Over a publishing history stretching across an impressive 35 years, this DC figure has kept remarkable company — sharing pages with the likes of Green Lantern, Batman, Bruce Wayne, and Nathaniel Adam — and appears most prominently across Justice League International, Superman, and The Green Lantern Corps. With 14 catalog appearances including two collector-recognized key issues, Mikoyan is the kind of quietly enduring presence that rewards the dedicated reader hunting through the rich ensemble tapestry of DC's late-80s and beyond.
