Yuriko Oyama

Debuting in the pages of Strange #189 in 1985, Yuriko Oyama arrived at the tail end of the Bronze Age in a debut crafted by the sharp creative team of Denny O'Neil, William Johnson, and Klaus Janson. Published by Editions Lug, her catalog footprint spans an impressive 34 years — from 1985 all the way to 2019 — a quiet testament to staying power. She keeps genuinely electrifying company across her appearances, sharing pages with the likes of Logan, Ororo Munroe, Kurt Wagner, and Jean-Paul Beaubier, turning up most frequently in Strange, Wolverine, and All-New Wolverine. For collectors who love tracing a character's long, winding thread through decades of comics history, Yuriko Oyama is a fascinating figure worth seeking out.
