Arashi Wakayama

A product of Marvel's early '90s anthology powerhouse Marvel Comics Presents, Arashi Wakayama burst onto the scene in 1993 — right in that fertile Copper/Modern Age moment when the publisher was experimenting boldly with new voices and fresh faces. Brought to life by Erik Larsen and Chris Marrinan, Arashi shares their pages with a striking cast including Kiyoshi Kurata, Kaminari, Kaze, Inazuma, and even Ghost Rider, suggesting a world crackling with energy and danger. Their story is compact and concentrated — just seven catalog appearances, all anchored in Marvel Comics Presents — which gives them that rare, cult-favorite quality collectors love to discover tucked inside anthology back issues.
