Rex

Bursting onto the scene in 1992 from a creative trio of Gary Winnick, Steve Purcell, and Frank Cirocco, Rex is a Copper/Modern Age Marvel original whose home turf is the wonderfully offbeat Defenders of Dynatron City. With a roster of teammates-in-adventure that includes the likes of Wendy Weedwacker, Jet Headstrong, Buzzsaw Girl, Toolbox, and Radium Dog, the book radiates that irresistible late-era Marvel energy where imagination ran gloriously wild. Rex may have a modest six appearances in the catalog, but as part of one of the quirkier corners of Marvel's early-'90s output, this character is a genuine curiosity worth tracking down for collectors who love discovering the road less traveled.
