Detective Alton Clark

Detective Alton Clark stepped onto the Marvel scene in 1995, born from the creative partnership of Larry Hama and Greg Luzniak in the gritty pages of Venom: Sinner Takes All #1 — right in the thick of the symbiote-saturated mid-'90s. His world is a dangerous one, sharing the beat with the likes of Venom, Eddie Brock, Spider-Man, and the terrifying Hybrid across titles like Venom: Along Came a Spider and Venom: On Trial. With a dozen appearances concentrated across some of the era's most intense Venom storylines, Clark is the kind of street-level presence that grounds the chaos around him — a human anchor in a corner of Marvel where the threats are anything but ordinary. For fans who love the texture and atmosphere of '90s Marvel, he's a rewarding find.
