Dean Boswell

Stepping out of Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely's landmark 2003 run on New X-Men, Dean Boswell is a Modern Age Marvel creation who emerged during one of the most celebrated and unconventional chapters in X-Men history. With only a handful of catalog appearances, this is a figure who haunts the margins of a genuinely era-defining story, sharing pages with the likes of Ernst, Glob Herman, the Cuckoos, Scott Summers, and Logan. One of those appearances carries key-issue weight — reason enough for Morrison completists and X-Men historians to take notice. Rare, specific, and rooted in a run that reshaped mutant comics, Dean Boswell is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes digging through back issues so rewarding.
