Brother Grimm

Stepping out of the Bronze Age shadows in Spider-Woman #3 (1978), Brother Grimm is one of those wonderfully eerie Marvel creations that rewards the deep-diving collector — a villain conjured by the legendary team of Marv Wolfman and Carmine Infantino right at the height of that era's love for dark, fairy-tale menace. He's woven into the early mythology of Jessica Drew's world, sharing those pages with Spider-Woman herself alongside figures like Nathan Dolly and Jerry Hunt. With appearances stretching all the way to 2015, this Bronze Age original has proven surprisingly enduring for a character outside the spotlight — and his Spider-Woman issues, including reprints in Marvel Masterworks, make him a satisfying quarry for anyone building out that corner of the Marvel universe.
