Toshiro Misawa

Toshiro Misawa stepped onto the scene in 1993's Stormwatch #1 — one of Image Comics' splashy early launches, co-created by the superstar team of Brandon Choi and Jim Lee alongside Scott Clark — and proved durable enough to keep appearing across a remarkable twenty-year span. A fixture of the gritty, high-octane Copper/Modern Age that Image helped define, Misawa shares his adventures with heavy hitters like Fuji, Jackson King, Hellstrike, and Nigel Keane, running through the pages of Stormwatch, Codename: Stryke Force, and WildC.A.T.s. With two key-issue appearances flagging his collector significance, he's the kind of character who rewards the dedicated reader willing to dig into the rich, interconnected world Image built in those early, ambitious years. Forty catalog appearances and two decades of comics history make Toshiro Misawa a rewarding discovery for any fan exploring the bold frontier era of Image.
