Yasuo Kuromoko

A creature of the Bronze Age's independent comics scene, Yasuo Kuromoko made his entrance in 1985's Nightveil #2, brought to life by Steve Ringgenberg and Mark Heike for AC Comics — that scrappy publisher with a devoted cult following. His seven catalogued appearances weave through some of AC's most distinctive titles: Nightveil, Dragonfly, and the fan-favorite FemForce, putting him in the orbit of characters like Nightveil, Scarlet Scorpion, and Nirvana. He's a deep-cut find for the dedicated AC collector, the kind of supporting player whose limited page time makes each appearance feel like a genuine discovery.
