Marla Madison

Debuting in the Bronze Age pages of Strange #126 (1980) under the creative hands of Len Wein, Ross Andru, and Mike Esposito, Marla Madison is a character whose presence quietly endures across an impressive 26-year span of publication. Published through Editions Lug, she moves through a world populated by some of Marvel's heaviest hitters — Peter Parker, Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Iron Man among her frequent page-companions — which speaks to the quality of storytelling she's embedded within. With four collector-recognized key issues to her name, she's no background fixture; those milestone appearances reward the dedicated reader hunting through Strange, Nova, and beyond. A rewarding discovery for Bronze Age enthusiasts who love finding characters with real staying power woven into the fabric of Marvel's most beloved era.
