Bettina Kaposvar

Bettina Kaposvar stepped into the Marvel universe at the very dawn of the Bronze Age, debuting in Dracula Lives #1 in 1973 — part of Marvel's bold, atmospheric push into horror comics that gave readers something deliciously darker than their usual superhero fare. Created by Tony DiPreta, she keeps remarkable company across her appearances, sharing pages with the Lord of the Undead himself as well as luminaries like the Human Torch, Goliath, and Janet Van Dyne. Her presence across collections like Essential Tomb of Dracula and Marvel Visionaries: Roy Thomas places her firmly within one of the most celebrated corners of Bronze Age Marvel, and the fact that her catalog footprint stretches all the way to 2019 makes her a quiet testament to the lasting pull of that gothic era — a character worth seeking out for any serious collector of Marvel's horror heritage.
