Niddler

Few characters in early '90s Marvel comics carry quite the exotic charm of Niddler, who made their debut in The Pirates of Dark Water #1 in 1991, diving straight into one of the Copper/Modern Age's more adventurous and visually distinctive series. Adapted from an animated property into four-color life, this short-lived run is a genuine curiosity in the Marvel catalog, and Niddler shares its pages with a colorful cast including Ren, Ioz, Tula, the menacing Bloth, and Konk. With only eight recorded appearances, Niddler is a rare find — the kind of character that rewards the dedicated back-issue hunter who loves unearthing the roads less traveled in comics history.
