Blackwing

Blackwing took flight in the Bronze Age pages of Strange #115 (1979), brought to life by the creative duo of Gerry Conway and Don Heck for Editions Lug. With only a handful of appearances to their name, this is a rare and intriguing figure whose debut issue carries collector-significant key status — making every page count. The company Blackwing keeps is genuinely impressive, sharing adventures with the likes of Spider-Man, Iron Man, Matt Murdock, and Mary Jane Watson, which speaks to the rich Marvel-flavored world these stories inhabit. A compact but compelling corner of Bronze Age history, Blackwing is exactly the kind of discovery that reminds you why digging through the back-issue bins is always worth it.
