Diabolique

A creature of shadow and menace, Diabolique burst onto the Marvel scene in 1994, right at the edge of the Copper and Modern Age, in the anthology pages of Marvel Comics Presents — a series that had a proud tradition of spotlighting darker, edgier corners of the Marvel Universe. Sharing those stories with the likes of Michael Badilino, Vengeance, and Speedball, Diabolique kept genuinely intense company during one of comics' most atmospheric eras. With only a handful of appearances to their name, this is the kind of rare, blink-and-you'll-miss-it character that rewards the dedicated deep-diver — a genuine hidden gem for collectors who love hunting the overlooked mysteries of early-'90s Marvel.
