Hondo MacLean

Hondo MacLean made their entrance into the DC Universe in the pages of Blue Devil #16 in 1985, a product of the creative energy that defined the Bronze Age, brought to life by the team of Gary Cohn, Dan Mishkin, and Alan Kupperberg. With appearances spread across heavy-hitter titles like Batman, Batman and the Outsiders, and Action Comics, this is a character who clearly moved in consequential corners of the DC world, sharing pages with the likes of Cliff Dagger, Miles Mayhem, and Buddie Hawks. The catalog may be compact at ten appearances, but one of those carries key-issue recognition — proof that even a lean presence can leave a meaningful mark. For collectors with a taste for the deeper cuts of mid-'80s DC, Hondo MacLean is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through back issues so rewarding.
