Jessica Jones

Few characters announced themselves to the Modern Age quite like Jessica Jones, who made her catalog entrance in 2005 through Panini France's Marvel Méga — a publication that placed her squarely in the company of heavy-hitters like Spider-Man, Captain America, Logan, and Matt Murdock. Created by Brian Michael Bendis and brought to life with striking visuals by Gabriele Dell'Otto, she's a character who clearly belongs in the grittier, more grounded corners of the Marvel universe, rubbing shoulders with some of its most iconic figures. With appearances spread across Ultimate Spider-Man and French Marvel editions through 2015, her presence in this particular corner of the catalog is a collector's curiosity — a fascinating snapshot of how Marvel's Modern Age storytelling reached international audiences.
