Konrad Kharkov

A creature of Cold War shadows and Bronze Age intrigue, Konrad Kharkov made his entrance in 1977 through the pages of Marvel UK's Super Spider-Man, rubbing shoulders with none other than Spider-Man and the early adventures of Captain Britain — rarefied company for any villain. Despite a slim appearance count, his footprint stretches a remarkable span of decades in the catalog, and his presence in the Captain Britain Omnibus ensures he's preserved alongside some of Marvel UK's most celebrated material. For collectors with a taste for the transatlantic corner of the Bronze Age Marvel universe, Kharkov is exactly the kind of obscure, atmospheric figure who rewards the deep dig.
