Copper Penny

A creature of the mid-nineties action comics scene, Copper Penny burst onto the page in Bruce Lee #1 (1994), brought to life by the sharp creative pairing of Mike Baron and Val Mayerik for Malibu Comics. Sharing adventures in that high-energy series alongside Bruce Lee himself, Sheldon, Mr. Chin, Stickman, and even Fabio, she inhabits a wonderfully eclectic corner of the Copper Age. With only six catalog appearances across a short-lived but spirited run, Copper Penny is exactly the kind of hidden gem that rewards the dedicated back-issue hunter.
