Radar, the Hound Supreme
There's something irresistible about a character billed as the Hound Supreme — and Radar lives up to every syllable of that title. Debuting in 1996's Supreme #42 under the visionary pen of Alan Moore and artist Joe Bennett, this canine companion emerged during the Modern Age as part of Awesome Entertainment's ambitious reimagining of superhero mythology. Radar shares the page with heavy hitters like Supreme, Suprema, and Ethan Crane, running through stories that span Supreme and Supreme: Judgment Day across a surprisingly enduring sixteen-year presence in the catalog. A loyal, larger-than-life figure in a corner of comics that rewards devoted collectors, Radar is the kind of delightful, earnest creation that reminds you why Alan Moore's run on Supreme remains one of the era's most celebrated hidden gems.
