Bob DeNatale

A minor but memorable footnote in Marvel's Bronze Age oddities, Bob DeNatale made his debut in the pages of U.S. 1 #8 in 1984, courtesy of creators Al Milgrom and Frank Springer. With only a handful of catalog appearances spread across U.S. 1, G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero, and the delightfully quirky Marvel Fumetti Book, DeNatale is a curiosity who shares his limited page time with the likes of Ann Nocenti, Bob Harras, and Jim Owsley — a fascinating backstage crowd. Rare and niche, he's the kind of deep-cut discovery that reminds collectors just how wonderfully strange Marvel's early '80s output could be.
