Alison Blaire

Alison Blaire made her Bronze Age entrance in the pages of Strange #142 in 1981, brought to life by the creative duo of Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema for Editions Lug — and what a debut it was, landing her in company that includes the likes of Peter Parker, Logan, Colossus, and Ororo Munroe. With 122 catalogued appearances spanning an impressive 44 years across Titans, Strange, and Spécial Strange, she's proven herself a genuinely enduring presence in the collection. Six of those appearances carry key-issue status, making her a figure that serious collectors keep a sharp eye out for — a Bronze Age original with real staying power worth tracking down.
