Eva Braun

Debuting in The Punisher War Journal #14 in 1990, this Marvel incarnation of Eva Braun is a rare and striking historical figure to encounter in superhero comics — a name drawn straight from the darkest chapter of the 20th century and dropped into the four-color world. With only three catalogued appearances spanning into 2012, she's a fleeting but haunting presence, surfacing in company as weighty as Adolf Hitler, Captain America, and Bucky across titles like Captain America and Bucky: Old Wounds. Brief as her comics footprint is, for readers and historians of Marvel's wartime storytelling, she's a genuinely unusual find worth tracking down.
