Khats

A curious little corner of the Marvel Universe opened up in 1987 when Khats debuted in Strange Tales #3, brought to life by the imaginative pairing of Bill Mantlo and artist Bret Blevins during comics' Copper Age. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Khats is the kind of rare, blink-and-you'll-miss-it figure that makes dedicated collectors lean in — sharing pages with the likes of Cloak, Tandy Bowen, Tyrone Johnson, Nightmare, and the otherworldly Rintrah, which speaks to some genuinely strange and mystical territory. For fans who love hunting the overlooked and offbeat edges of Marvel's vast tapestry, Khats is exactly the sort of obscure gem worth tracking down.
