Doc Marvel

A product of the mid-1980s Bronze Age indie scene, Doc Marvel made their debut in AC Comics' The Shade Special #1 in 1984, brought to life by creator Rik Levins. With appearances spread across FemForce, Captain Paragon and the Sentinels of Justice, and The Shade Special, this character occupies a fascinating corner of AC's distinctive universe — keeping colorful company with the likes of She-Cat, The Latigo Kid, and Laura Wright. Rare and collectible with a key issue to their name, Doc Marvel is exactly the kind of hidden gem that makes digging through AC's Bronze Age catalog such a rewarding adventure for dedicated collectors.
