First appearance: the unicorn from the stars
As a supporting figure in The Unicorn from the Stars, Johnny Gibbons is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
Johnny Gibbons is the outlaw hero whispered about in quarries and shebeens, a man who learned his trade in France and comes home to a countryside already primed for rising. He is spoken of before he is seen, his name a password that turns cautious farmers into conspirators. His return gives the scattered Whiteboys a figure to rally behind, but the gap between the myth and the man is what the story keeps testing.
