Duende

Stepping out of the vibrant Brazilian comics scene of the mid-1980s, Duende made their debut in Superaventuras Marvel #41 (1985), published by Editora Abril — a Bronze Age curiosity with a genuinely distinctive pedigree, given the creative fingerprints of Frank Miller and Klaus Janson on that first appearance. With only a handful of catalog entries, this is a rare find, the kind of character that serious collectors love to track down, surfacing in issues that also feature heavy-hitters like Colossus, Ororo Munroe, Kurt Wagner, and Matt Murdock. Duende may be a brief presence in the grand tapestry of Marvel's international publishing history, but that scarcity is precisely what makes them a fascinating piece of the Bronze Age puzzle.
