Neon the Unknown is a fictional superhero from the Golden Age of Comic Books created by Jerry Iger for Quality Comics. Neon first appeared in a story penciled and inked by Alex Blum in Hit Comics #1 and was featured on the cover of issue two drawn by Lou Fine.[1] His stories ran in issues 1–17.[2]
Like many characters owned by that company, he was later bought by DC Comics after Quality ceased operations.
