Dr. Mara

Stepping onto the scene in 1993 through AC Comics' Paragon, Dr. Mara is a Copper/Modern Age figure whose brief but intriguing catalog presence places her squarely in the scrappy, fan-beloved corner of independent superhero publishing. Created by Bill Black, John Nadeau, and Victor Bridges, she shares her pages with a compelling roster that includes Ms. Victory, Black Shroud, and Proxima — the kind of eclectic company that makes AC's universe such a rewarding dig for collectors who venture beyond the Big Two. With appearances also in Femforce: Origins, she's a character whose story feels ripe for rediscovery by anyone who loves the distinctive, passion-driven spirit of '90s indie comics.
