Mary Jane Watson

Mary Jane Watson needs no introduction to Marvel devotees, but here she lights up the pages of Edizioni Star Comics' Italian-language catalog, debuting in L'Uomo Ragno #50 in 1990. Across her 13 appearances — spread through L'Uomo Ragno and Star Magazine — she keeps remarkable company, sharing adventures with the likes of Gatta Nera, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and Colosso. It's a wonderful snapshot of the Copper/Modern Age Marvel universe as filtered through the vibrant Italian comics market, and for collectors hunting the international editions of beloved characters, Mary Jane's presence here is a charming and worthwhile find.
