Gazelle

A Bronze Age creation with serious pedigree, Gazelle made her debut in 1984's Nova #79, brought to life by the legendary team of Len Wein, George Pérez, and Joe Sinnott. She's a compact but collector-worthy presence in the Marvel universe — one of her handful of appearances carries key-issue status, which is no small thing for a character with such a modest footprint. Her adventures place her in vivid company alongside the likes of Thornn, Vertigo, and Hydron, and her appearances span Nova, Titans, and the French Marvel Heroes Hors Série releases from Editions Lug, giving her a quietly international flavor. For fans who love hunting the overlooked corners of the Bronze Age, Gazelle is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through back-issue bins so rewarding.
