Ibis the Invincible

Few characters carry the mystique of the Golden Age quite like Ibis the Invincible, who first materialized in the legendary Whiz Comics #2 in 1940, conjured into existence by creators Bill Parker and Pete Costanza. A Fawcett Comics treasure from comics' earliest and most enchanting era, Ibis shared those storied pages with none other than Captain Marvel and Billy Batson, placing him at the very heart of Fawcett's golden pantheon. With two collector-recognized key issues to his name and a presence that echoes across nearly eight decades — from Whiz Comics and Captain Marvel Adventures all the way to 2018 — he's a figure of remarkable staying power for a character so rooted in the dawn of the medium. If you love the atmosphere and ambition of Golden Age storytelling, Ibis the Invincible is absolutely worth seeking out.
