Who is Martha Franklin?

Martha Franklin has quietly carved out her own corner of the Marvel Universe since her 1999 debut in The Amazing Spider-Man #2, brought to life by Howard Mackie and John Byrne during comics' modern era. Over nearly three decades she's kept remarkable company — sharing pages with Spider-Woman, Spider-Man, Madame Web, and Aunt May Parker — placing her squarely within the web-spinning world that Marvel fans know and love. Her appearances span The Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, and even the Michel Fiffe Portfolio, hinting at a character with more range than her modest appearance count might suggest. For collectors who love discovering the quieter threads woven through Marvel's tapestry, Martha Franklin is exactly the kind of figure worth tracking down.
