Daydreamer

Dreamed up by Gerry Conway and Mark Bagley in the pages of The Spectacular Spider-Man Annual #8 in 1988, Daydreamer is a Copper Age Marvel creation with a name that sparks immediate curiosity. Though her catalog footprint is modest — just eleven recorded appearances spanning a surprisingly long arc from 1988 to 2011 — she turns up in some genuinely eclectic corners of the Marvel universe, from Marvel Comics Presents to the Evolutionary War Omnibus, suggesting a character woven quietly into the fabric of Marvel's more ambitious, event-driven storytelling. Along the way she shares the page with an intriguing cast including Catherine Moranis, Genii, and Chi Lo — fellow travelers in Marvel's deeper cuts who reward the dedicated reader willing to dig past the headlines. For collectors who love discovering the hidden connective tissue of the Marvel universe, Daydreamer is exactly the kind of gem worth tracking down.
