Judas Man

A shadowy figure from Marvel's Bronze Age, Judas Man materialized in the pages of Spider-Woman in 1981, conjured by the formidable creative pairing of Chris Claremont and Steve Leialoha. With only a handful of appearances concentrated in that series' final stretch, this enigmatic character carved out a memorable niche sharing the stage with Spider-Woman, Jessica Drew, Lindsay McCabe, and the sinister Ophelia Sarkissian — compelling company that speaks to the high-stakes atmosphere of those issues. Rare and tightly bound to a specific moment in Marvel history, Judas Man is exactly the kind of deep-cut Bronze Age discovery that reminds collectors why hunting through late-run back issues is always worth the effort.
