Mrs. Dalwoody

A minor but memorable face from Marvel's Bronze Age martial arts boom, Mrs. Dalwoody made her debut in The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #9 in 1975, brought to life by the formidable creative team of Doug Moench, Mike Vosburg, and a young George Pérez. She inhabits a corner of Marvel's gritty, action-packed kung fu universe, sharing pages with the likes of Abe Brown, Bob Diamond, Lotus Shinchuko, and Lin Sun — some of the most colorful figures in 1970s Marvel street-level adventure. With only three catalog appearances concentrated in a short but stylistically rich run, she's the kind of quietly intriguing supporting character that dedicated Bronze Age collectors love to track down — a small thread in a wonderfully distinctive era of Marvel storytelling.
