Imei Chang
Imei Chang made her Marvel debut in 1988's Strange Tales #17, conjured into the Copper Age by creators Terry Austin and Dan Lawlis, and she's been woven into the mystical corners of the Marvel Universe ever since. A member of the Defenders, she moves through a world of high sorcery, sharing pages with the likes of Stephen Strange, Wong, Rintrah, and Sara Wolfe across a run that stretches an impressive 35 years — a quiet testament to a character who clearly left her mark. Her appearances are concentrated in the rich Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme era, that beloved late-'80s and '90s deep dive into Marvel's occult mythology, and collectors will note she has at least one key issue to her name. For fans who love the mystic side of Marvel and want to explore beyond the headliners, Imei Chang is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through back issues so rewarding.
