Jack D'Auria

Jack D'Auria arrived in the gritty early 1990s Marvel universe courtesy of Howard Mackie and Mark Texeira — a creative team who knew how to populate a story with characters that stick. Debuting in Marvel Comics Presents #64 in 1990, Jack moves through a world where Danny Ketch, Ghost Rider, and Wolverine share the same dangerous streets, which tells you plenty about the dark, visceral corner of Marvel he calls home. His appearances stretch across Marvel Comics Presents and Ghost Rider: Resurrected, making him a figure tied to one of the Copper Age's most atmospheric runs. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Jack is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that reminds seasoned collectors why they dig through back issues in the first place.
