Buck Mitty

Introduced in the pages of Marvel Age Annual #2 in 1986 by the legendary team of Roger Stern and John Buscema, Buck Mitty is a Copper Age Marvel creation who has quietly carved out a niche across nearly a quarter-century of street-level storytelling. With 28 catalogued appearances spread across titles like Heroes for Hire and Daughters of the Dragon, this character has consistently kept colorful company — sharing adventures with the likes of Misty Knight, Colleen Wing, Black Cat, and Humbug — placing Buck squarely in Marvel's gritty, urban corner of the universe. Three of those appearances carry key-issue status, making Buck Mitty a rewarding discovery for collectors who dig deeper than the marquee names. If you love the scrappy, interconnected world of Marvel's street-tier heroes, this is exactly the kind of find that makes long-box diving so satisfying.
