Jake Conover

Jake Conover is a New York reporter in the Marvel Universe who operates in the street-level journalism world, crossing paths with figures like Spider-Man and Daily Bugle staffers Robbie Robertson and Peter Parker.

A fixture of Marvel's street-level New York journalism world, Jake Conover made his debut in the Bronze Age classic Daredevil #131 (1976), brought to life by the legendary Marv Wolfman and artist Bob Brown. Over a surprisingly long stretch spanning from 1976 all the way to 2012, this reporter has crossed paths with some of Marvel's most beloved figures — sharing pages with Spider-Man, Peter Parker, Robbie Robertson, and Mary Jane Watson-Parker across titles like The Amazing Spider-Man and Daredevil. He's the kind of supporting character who quietly stitches together the fabric of Marvel's New York, and with one key collector-significant issue to his name, he's more than just background noise — he's a genuine piece of Bronze Age continuity worth tracking down.
