Mindy McPherson

Mindy McPherson made her entrance in the Bronze Age through The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #21 (1976), brought to life by the legendary Chris Claremont and artist Rudy Nebres during one of Marvel's most creatively adventurous eras. Her catalog footprint is small but genuinely intriguing — spanning both that martial-arts magazine and the pages of The Calgary Herald Comic Book, she keeps remarkable company, sharing issues with the likes of Peter Parker and Hobie Brown. With one of her handful of appearances already flagged as a key issue, Mindy McPherson is precisely the kind of hidden Bronze Age gem that makes digging through back-issue bins so rewarding.
