Carmen Burnemissza

Few corners of Marvel's Bronze Age are as atmospheric as its horror titles, and Carmen Burnemissza is one of the intriguing figures who haunts that shadowy landscape. Debuting in Frankenstein #7 in 1973, created by Vic Dowling, Carmen keeps remarkable company — sharing pages with none other than the Frankenstein Monster and Dracula himself. With only a handful of catalog appearances across 1973–1974, Carmen is a rare and evocative presence, the kind of character that makes digging through Bronze Age horror back-issues such a rewarding adventure for collectors who love the road less traveled.
