Doctor Glitternight

Doctor Glitternight is a supernatural mystic villain from Marvel's Bronze Age horror comics, a dark occult menace who clashed with Jack Russell (the Werewolf by Night) and figures such as Topaz and Brother Voodoo in the shadowy corners of the Marvel supernatural underworld.

Few corners of the Marvel Bronze Age feel as deliciously strange as the supernatural horror books of the mid-1970s, and Doctor Glitternight is one of that era's most gloriously eerie offerings. Conjured by Doug Moench and Don Perlin in Werewolf by Night #28 in 1975, this Marvel mystic menace materialized in exactly the right neighborhood — sharing pages with Jack Russell, Topaz, Brother Voodoo, and Damballah, a murderers' row of occult heavy-hitters that tells you everything about the dark, incense-thick corner of the Marvel Universe he inhabits. His appearances stretch across nearly five decades into 2021, surfacing in Doctor Strange and Sorcerer Supreme collections that cement his place in Marvel's mystical mythology. With only ten catalog appearances he's a genuine deep-cut discovery — the kind of character that makes longtime collectors feel like they've found something the casual fan walked right past.
