Strange and Unsung All-Stars of the DC Multiverse

"Move over Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman-Peacemaker is here to stay and he's bringing along more than 100 of DC's most colorful and unconventional characters from all corners of the DC Multiverse in this officially licensed book. Star of the smash hit HBO Max series, Peacemaker heralds a new era for DC Comics and a new type of Super Hero. First appearing on the page in 1966, Peacemaker has had a long road to the spotlight and he's not alone. For every Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman-or even the beloved, breakout Harley Quinn-there are dozens of unique, sometimes absurd, and yet truly memorable characters waiting for their chance to shine. In a guide book like no other, author Stephanie Williams presents a roster of DC's most unexpected and delightful creations. From Ma Hunkel, the 1940s Super Hero Red Tornado, who fought crime in red long johns and a cooking pot for a helmet to Topo, Aquaman's trusted pet octopus who is adept at playing multiple instruments and shooting four arrows at once, Heck Yeah, It's Peacemaker . . . And 99 Other Unsung and Inexplicable All-Stars from DC: A Visual Encyclopedia will introduce readers to their next favorite character. Long-time comic readers will appreciate the deep dive into DC lore and Peacemaker fans will soon see what else this 88-year-old brand comic publisher to offer. With a roster ranging from characters who showed up once and were never heard from again to others, like Peacemaker, who have been on the outskirts for decades, the book explores their eccentric biographies, key appearances, and how they relate to the larger DC Multiverse"--
