Ereshkigal

Drawing her name from ancient mythology, Ereshkigal made her Marvel debut in the landmark 50th issue of Quasar in 1993 — a copper/modern age arrival courtesy of writer Mark Gruenwald and artist Andy Smith. Though her catalog footprint is rare, the company she keeps is anything but ordinary, sharing pages with Quasar himself alongside the likes of Doctor Druid and Shaman. Her presence in the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z confirms she earned a proper place in Marvel's cosmology — a tantalizing obscurity well worth hunting down for fans who love digging into the deeper, stranger corners of the universe.
