Alfie

Debuting in the pages of The New Mutants Annual #2 in 1986, Alfie is a Copper Age Marvel creation brought to life by the celebrated team of Chris Claremont and Alan Davis. Though their catalog footprint is small, the company Alfie keeps is anything but — sharing adventures with the likes of Mirage, Captain Britain, Meggan, Xi'an Coy Manh, and the reality-warping Mojo speaks to a debut in some genuinely wild, imaginative corners of the Marvel Universe. Collected across prestigious volumes like the New Mutants Omnibus and Marvel Masterworks: The Uncanny X-Men, Alfie's handful of appearances includes at least one collector-significant key issue — a quiet but real mark of distinction for any character. For fans who love digging into the rich, interconnected Bronze-to-Copper Age Marvel tapestry, Alfie is a rewarding little discovery.
