Amanda Robertson

Introduced in the pages of The Spectacular Spider-Man #147 in 1989 by the legendary team of Gerry Conway and Sal Buscema, Amanda Robertson is a Copper Age Marvel creation who moves in remarkably high-profile circles — sharing panels with Spider-Man himself, Mary Jane Parker, the Green Goblin, and the Robertson family. Her appearances stretch across an impressive two decades, touching titles as varied as The Spectacular Spider-Man and the landmark X-Men: Inferno Crossovers, which speaks to her quiet staying power in the Marvel universe. Rare in the catalog but connected to some of Marvel's most beloved characters, she's exactly the kind of figure that rewards the dedicated reader who pays attention to the richly populated world beyond the headline heroes.
