John Anvil

A Bronze Age Marvel creation born in the pages of The Incredible Hulk #182 in 1974, John Anvil was brought to life by the legendary team of Len Wein and Herb Trimpe — the same issue that gave comics one of its most storied debuts, making it a genuine collector's landmark. With a catalog trail stretching across 33 years into 2007, John Anvil turns up in some of Marvel's most spirited corners, sharing pages with the likes of Bruce Banner and Logan and popping up across titles like Daughters of the Dragon, She-Hulk, and Spider-Woman. Rare appearances make him the kind of deep-cut figure that rewards the devoted reader digging through Bronze Age back issues and beyond.
