Egg Fu

One of the Silver Age's most audacious — and frankly bizarre — creations, Egg Fu first cracked into DC Comics in Wonder Woman #166 in 1966, the handiwork of the legendary team of Robert Kanigher and Ross Andru. This giant, villainous egg-shaped antagonist is a genuine artifact of his era, the kind of wildly imaginative (and culturally complicated) concept that only the Silver Age could have hatched, sharing panels over the decades with icons like Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and John Stewart. His footprint stretches across roughly 45 years of DC publishing, turning up in Batman: The Brave and the Bold long after his Wonder Woman origins, which speaks to an undeniable staying power — however strange the package. For collectors fascinated by the odder corners of DC history, Egg Fu is a conversation piece like no other.
