Volto

A rare Golden Age curiosity, Volto made their debut in the pages of Superman #32 in 1945 — a Bill Finger and Sam Citron creation that puts them in remarkably distinguished company from the very start, sharing those early pages with Superman, Lois Lane, Clark Kent, Perry White, and even the mischievous Mr. Mxyztplk. With appearances spread across Superman, Action Comics, and the delightfully offbeat All Humor Comics, Volto occupies a fascinating little corner of DC's postwar universe, and the fact that one of their handful of appearances carries key-issue status makes tracking them down a genuine collector's quest. Brief in their published run but touched by the magic of the Golden Age's most iconic titles, Volto is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that reminds you how much richness is still waiting in those yellowed pages.
