Giraffe-Man

There's something wonderfully Marvel about a character called Giraffe-Man making his debut in Dan Slott and Paul Pelletier's G.L.A. #1 in 2005 — a Modern Age title that wore its offbeat sensibility like a badge of honor. With only a handful of catalog appearances spread across G.L.A. and Black Cat, Giraffe-Man is very much a deep-cut curiosity, the kind of background figure who quietly shares pages with heavy-hitters like Tombstone, Black Cat, and Matt Murdock. Rare, a little absurd, and unmistakably Marvel — he's a trivia-night answer waiting to happen for the dedicated collector.
