Jimmy Garvin

Jimmy Garvin was a real-life WCW professional wrestler adapted into comic form for Marvel's licensed WCW series, appearing alongside fellow grapplers Sting, Arn Anderson, and Rick Steiner in stories translating the world of championship wrestling into four-color action.

Stepping out of the squared circle and onto the comics page, Jimmy Garvin made his four-color debut in Marvel's WCW World Championship Wrestling #4 in 1992, brought to life by writer Mike Lackey and artist Ron Wilson during comics' Copper/Modern Age. This short-lived but spirited Marvel series translated the high-energy world of WCW wrestling into comic book form, and Garvin shares those wild pages with a murderers' row of recognizable names — Arn Anderson, Sting, Rick Steiner, and more. With only five catalog appearances across the WCW titles, he's a genuine rarity for collectors who love the unique crossover moment when pro wrestling and Marvel Comics briefly, gloriously collided.
