Who is Lindsay McCabe?

Lindsay McCabe is a vivacious actress who befriended Jessica Drew in San Francisco and became her trusted partner, eventually co-founding the Drew and McCabe Private Investigations agency. Notably, Lindsay is immune to Spider-Woman's uncontrollable pheromone abilities for reasons that remain unexplained.

Debuting in Spider-Woman #14 in 1979, Lindsay McCabe is a Bronze Age Marvel creation from the sharp collaborative minds of Mark Gruenwald and Carmine Infantino. Over more than four decades she's proven herself a quietly enduring presence in the Marvel universe, sharing pages with heavy-hitters like Spider-Woman, Wolverine, and Spider-Man across titles including Spider-Woman, Wolverine, and The Uncanny X-Men. With three key-issue appearances to her name and a publishing history stretching all the way to 2023, Lindsay is the kind of supporting player that devoted Marvel readers know separates a truly rich fictional world from a shallow one — worth seeking out for any collector who loves discovering the connective tissue of the Bronze Age Marvel tapestry.
