Officer Vikar

A creature of the Modern Age's supernatural corners of the DC Universe, Officer Vikar surfaced in 2013's Justice League Dark #15 under the creative hands of Jeff Lemire, Ray Fawkes, and Mikel Janín — a team that was pushing DC's darker, stranger territories to their limits. With only a handful of appearances, Vikar is a rare and intriguing figure, the kind of deep-cut character who haunts the margins of stories populated by the likes of Black Orchid, Frankenstein, Deadman, Boston Brand, and Madame Xanadu. That's rarefied, eerie company, and sharing pages with that crowd says everything about the shadowy world Vikar inhabits — a world well worth exploring for any fan who loves DC at its most gloriously weird.
