Cowled One

Few Bronze Age mysteries carry quite the atmospheric weight of the Cowled One, who slithered into Marvel's horror corner in 1976 courtesy of the dark imaginations of Doug Moench and Don Perlin — right in the thick of that wonderfully eerie era when Marvel leaned hard into supernatural storytelling. Surfacing in the pages of Werewolf by Night, this enigmatic figure keeps genuinely unsettling company: Brother Voodoo, Jack Russell, and spectral presences like Daniel Drumm's Spirit and the Goat-Child haunt the same shadowy corners. Rare appearances only deepen the mystique — four catalog entries spanning all the way to 2021 mean the Cowled One is the kind of obscure Bronze Age find that serious Marvel horror collectors quietly treasure. If you love the strange, occult-tinged underbelly of the Marvel Universe, this is exactly the sort of figure worth tracking down.
