Keyop

Keyop burst onto the Bronze Age comics scene in 1979, debuting in Battle of the Planets #1 courtesy of creators Gary Poole and Win Mortimer — part of a memorable ensemble that includes Mark, Jason, Princess, Tiny, and the villainous Zoltar. Published across an impressive stretch of nearly a quarter century, this Western Publishing character carved out a loyal following among fans of the beloved franchise. With 17 catalogued appearances concentrated in the Battle of the Planets series, Keyop is a rewarding find for collectors chasing down the full roster of one of Bronze Age comics' most distinctive sci-fi adventure properties.
