Aaron English

Bronze Age Marvel has no shortage of colorful supporting players, and Aaron English is one of those quietly persistent figures who has orbited some genuinely fascinating company — sharing pages with the likes of Valkyrie, Nighthawk, Patsy Walker, and Dollar Bill across the wonderfully eccentric world of The Defenders. Debuted in 1977 courtesy of David Kraft and Keith Giffen, Aaron has turned up across a surprisingly wide stretch of Marvel history, with appearances stretching all the way to 2020 — a quiet testament to staying power. With a collector-recognized key issue to their name and appearances collected in Marvel Masterworks, this is the kind of character that rewards the dedicated reader who loves discovering the human texture woven through Marvel's Bronze Age tapestry.
