Gracie Smith

A quiet but memorable presence in Marvel's X-Men: The Hidden Years, Gracie Smith made her debut in 2001, brought to life by the legendary John Byrne in his loving exploration of the classic X-Men era. With only a handful of appearances to her name, she's the kind of character who rewards the dedicated reader — a face from the margins of a series that itself was a labor of love for longtime fans. She shares those pages with the likes of Scott Summers and Bobby Drake, moving through stories that bridge the golden days of the original X-Men with the Modern Age sensibility Byrne brought to the title. For collectors who treasure The Hidden Years as a hidden gem in its own right, Gracie Smith is one of those intriguing figures who reminds you just how rich even the edges of the Marvel Universe can be.
