Ben Zimmer

Ben Zimmer stepped onto the page in 1992's Epic #1, a Marvel Copper/Modern Age creation brought to life by the creative team of Dan Chichester and William Simpson. With only a handful of catalog appearances, he's a rare find — the kind of character who shares his world with a compelling cast including Dr. Tachyon, Colonel Carter Tiernan, and Peter Lencov Sr., suggesting a story steeped in intrigue and serious dramatic stakes. For collectors who love unearthing the hidden corners of Marvel's early-'90s output, Ben Zimmer is exactly the sort of understated discovery that makes digging through back issues so rewarding.
