Who is Jennifer Walters?
Few Marvel characters have shown the kind of staying power that Jennifer Walters has, debuting back in 1974 during the Bronze Age — first spotted in the pages of FOOM Magazine under the hand of Steranko — and still going strong well into the 2020s across nearly a thousand catalogued appearances. She's headlined her own She-Hulk series while rubbing shoulders with the heaviest hitters in the Marvel Universe: Captain America, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the rest of the A-list crowd in Avengers and Fantastic Four territory. With 38 key issues to her name, collectors have had plenty of reasons to pay close attention to her across five-plus decades. If you're building a serious Marvel collection, Jennifer Walters is absolutely essential reading.

Trivia
- Marvel created She-Hulk as a calculated defensive trademark move — the House of Ideas wanted a female Hulk on the printed page before any television producer could introduce one independently and claim ownership of the concept.inverse.com
- The urgency behind her creation traced directly to the runaway success of The Incredible Hulk on television, with Marvel fearing an outside producer might launch a female counterpart as a spin-off-style character and seize the concept right out from under them.inverse.com
- Decades before fourth-wall-breaking and female-led superhero satire became fashionable, She-Hulk was already doing both — later runs recast her as a self-aware, meta legal-comic lead that comics journalism has long pointed to as unusually ahead of its time.inverse.com
- Dan Slott has written more of Jennifer Walters's comics than any other writer in our catalog — 53 issues.
