April Maye

Debuting in 1982's Strange #148 under the Bronze Age craftsmanship of Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema, April Maye is a quietly intriguing corner of the Marvel universe as published by Editions Lug — a character whose handful of appearances includes at least one collector-recognized key issue, which is no small distinction for a figure with such a compact footprint. She keeps genuinely remarkable company across her pages, sharing adventures with the likes of Spider-Man, Peter Parker, Ben Grimm, and Barney Bushkin, placing her squarely within the street-level, human-scale storytelling that defined so much of the Bronze Age's charm. The fact that her presence echoes through catalog entries spanning all the way to 2023 — including Morbius: L'intégrale — hints at a staying power that belies her small appearance count. For collectors who love hunting the overlooked figures woven into Marvel's rich tapestry, April Maye is exactly the kind of discovery worth chasing.
