Misty

Emerging from the Bronze Age in 1972 under the pen of James McQuade, Misty is a charming Apple Press creation whose adventures proved resilient enough to span over two decades of publication. Her stories ranged widely enough to earn her own dedicated series — including the evocatively titled Misty and the Valkyries — hinting at a character comfortable in worlds both grounded and mythic. Sixteen catalog appearances across titles like The Adventures of Misty speak to a quietly enduring presence, the kind of character that rewards the curious collector willing to dig a little deeper into the independent comics landscape of the era.
