Jeesala of de Thousand Years
Emerging from the eerie Bronze Age of Marvel Comics, Jeesala of the Thousand Years made her debut in Werewolf by Night #29 in 1975, courtesy of Doug Moench and Don Perlin — a creative team who knew how to conjure genuinely unsettling corners of the Marvel Universe. Her very name carries an air of ancient, otherworldly mystique, and her appearances across titles like Marvel Masterworks: Brother Voodoo and Marvel-Verse: Moon Knight hint at a figure woven into Marvel's supernatural tapestry. She keeps remarkable company — sharing pages with Jack Russell, Topaz, and other denizens of Marvel's horror landscape — and the fact that one of her handful of appearances carries key-issue status makes tracking her down a rewarding hunt for collectors. Rare, atmospheric, and rooted in one of Marvel's most beloved horror eras, Jeesala of the Thousand Years is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that reminds you why digging through the Bronze Age is always worth it.
