Zerak

A creature of the Silver Age, Zerak made a striking entrance in Blackhawk #243 in 1968, courtesy of the inventive duo Bob Haney and Pat Boyette. With a catalog presence stretching across an remarkable 42 years and appearances spanning titles as varied as Zeroids: The Return, Blackhawk, and the decidedly offbeat Leave It to Binky, this Moonstone character has kept genuinely eclectic company — sharing pages with the likes of Superman, Batman, and Bruce Wayne, as well as the intriguingly named Zobor and Zintar. Five appearances may seem modest, but the breadth of that publishing span and the sheer range of titles involved makes Zerak a fascinating curiosity for the dedicated Silver Age hunter who loves an unexpected discovery tucked between better-known icons.
