Golden-Blade

Emerging from the Bronze Age Marvel Universe in 1978, Golden-Blade made their debut in Ms. Marvel #13 under the skilled hands of Chris Claremont, Jim Mooney, and Joe Sinnott — a creative pedigree that alone makes any first appearance worth tracking down. This Marvel figure has kept genuinely eclectic company over the years, sharing pages with the likes of Spider-Man and Peter Parker, as well as more obscure corners of the Marvel cosmos, turning up most notably across Iron Man and Ms. Marvel. With a publishing presence stretching all the way to 2000, Golden-Blade is a quiet thread woven through two-plus decades of Marvel storytelling — a rare find for the dedicated Bronze Age hunter who loves unearthing characters that reward a little digging.
