Calvin Griswald

A minor but memorable face from the pages of Excalibur, Calvin Griswald stepped onto the Marvel stage in 1989 — right in the thick of that title's beloved Copper Age run — sharing the page with the likes of Kurt Wagner, Meggan, and the enigmatic Widget. Created by the dream team of Chris Claremont and Alan Davis, he's a small piece of a richly textured world, appearing alongside fellow Griswalds Wilbur and Martha in what feels like a very particular corner of the Excalibur universe. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Calvin is the kind of background character that rewards the devoted reader hunting for every thread in one of Marvel's most charming series.
