Doctor Solar

A Silver Age curiosity with genuine collector charm, Doctor Solar made their debut in Avontuur Classics #1803 in 1966, appearing under the Classics/Williams banner in what is clearly a European publication context. Over a run stretching into the late 1960s, this character graced the pages of Avontuur Classics for some 20 appearances, sharing that eclectic, wonderfully unpredictable comics universe with the likes of Tarzan, Gail Sanders, Nuro, and even the beloved comedy duo Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy — a lineup that tells you everything about the gloriously varied world these pages inhabited. For collectors with a taste for international Silver Age material and the offbeat corners of comics history, Doctor Solar represents exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through back-issue bins so rewarding.
