Who is The Mad Hatter?

A Silver Age curiosity with a delightfully long shelf life, this Mad Hatter made their DC debut in the pages of Superman Supacomic #114 back in 1969 — a creation shaped by the legendary editorial hand of Mort Weisinger alongside Jim Shooter and Pete Costanza. Over a remarkable span stretching all the way to the present day, this character has kept some of Gotham's most iconic company, sharing pages with Batman, Robin, Bruce Wayne, Jonathan Crane, and Jervis Tetch across titles as varied as Batman: Li'l Gotham, Batgirls, and Arkham Asylum. With 45 catalog appearances and at least one key issue to their name, the Mad Hatter is a testament to how DC's rogues gallery continues to haunt and delight collectors across generations — utterly worth a closer look for any fan who loves Gotham's wonderfully unhinged corners.
