Astrid Josefsen

A creature of the Bronze Age Marvel cosmos, Astrid Josefsen stepped onto the page in 1975 courtesy of the legendary Steve Gerber and John Buscema — two creators at the height of their powers — debuting in the pages of Man-Thing, one of the era's most hauntingly atmospheric series. Her world is a strange and swampy one, sharing adventures with the muck-encrusted Man-Thing himself alongside figures like The Mad Viking, Ted Sallis, Richard Rory, and Olivia Selby. With only a handful of appearances to her name, she's the kind of rare Bronze Age find that reminds collectors just how richly populated the margins of Marvel's stranger corners truly were.
