Betsy Wilford

A minor but memorable piece of Bronze Age Marvel history, Betsy Wilford made her debut in the pages of The X-Men #98 in 1976 — right in the thick of Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum's legendary, era-defining run on that title. With only a handful of catalog appearances, she's a fleeting presence, but one who shares the page with some of the most iconic figures in Marvel history: Ororo Munroe, Logan, Scott Summers, and Kurt Wagner were all part of that electric late-'70s X-Men world she briefly inhabited. For collectors and historians who love hunting the margins of the Bronze Age, Betsy Wilford is a quiet footnote in one of comics' greatest chapters.
