The Weird

Born from the imagination of John Byrne in 1988, The Weird is a Copper Age DC creation who debuted in the pages of Superman #15 — an issue collectors have flagged as significant. Though their catalog footprint is compact, the company they keep is anything but small: The Weird shares adventures across Superman, Action Comics, and Adventures of Superman alongside the likes of Bruce Wayne, J'Onn J'Onzz, Guy Gardner, and Jimmy Olsen, placing this enigmatic figure squarely in the heart of the DC universe. For fans drawn to the stranger, more atmospheric corners of late-'80s DC storytelling, The Weird is a quietly compelling discovery worth tracking down.
