Don Thomas

Bronze Age Marvel has its share of unsung figures, and Don Thomas — debuting in Captain America #228 in 1978 courtesy of Roger McKenzie and the legendary Sal Buscema — is one worth seeking out. Across a surprisingly durable 34-year presence in the Marvel Universe, this Avengers-affiliated character has crossed paths with some of the heaviest hitters on the roster, sharing pages with Captain America, Norman Osborn, Moonstone, and Blue Streak across titles like Captain America, Thunderbolts, and Punisher. With nine catalog appearances and one recognized key issue to their name, Don Thomas is the kind of deep-cut character that rewards the dedicated collector who loves tracing the connective tissue of Marvel's Bronze Age tapestry.
