Frankie

A product of Marvel's early 2000s horror-tinged corner of the universe, Frankie made their debut in Venom #6 (2003), brought to life by writer Daniel Way and artist Paco Medina during one of the symbiote's darkest and most unsettling chapters. With only a dozen catalogued appearances concentrated in that brief but intense 2003–2004 run, Frankie is very much a creature of the Modern Age — the kind of supporting player who gives a story its texture and stakes. Sharing pages with heavyweights like Venom and Spider-Man, as well as compelling figures like Trish Robertson and the enigmatic Suit, Frankie exists at the center of a genuinely strange and memorable slice of Marvel history that dedicated Venom completists won't want to overlook.
