Antro

Antro made their Marvel Comics entrance in 1994's Spider-Woman #3, a creation of Rick Parker emerging at the dawn of the Modern Age. Though their catalog footprint is compact — just three recorded appearances spanning into the mid-2000s — Antro earned a place in the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z, the kind of codified recognition that marks a character as genuinely woven into Marvel's fabric. Along the way, Antro shares the page with an intriguing cast including Arachne, Therak, and Hashi Noto, keeping some distinctly edgy company in the Spider-Woman corner of the Marvel universe. For collectors who love hunting down the deep cuts that give a shared universe its texture, Antro is exactly the sort of discovery that makes digging through back issues worthwhile.
