Louise Jones

Bronze Age Marvel has its share of hidden gems, and Louise Jones is one worth pausing over — a character who stepped onto the page in 1981, brought to life by the formidable creative pairing of Chris Claremont and Val Mayerik in Man-Thing #11. Her small but eclectic footprint spans Man-Thing, Marvel Fumetti Book, and even The Comics Journal, hinting at a wonderfully offbeat corner of early-'80s Marvel. She keeps remarkable company, sharing pages with the likes of Ororo Munroe and Ka-Zar, which makes her a genuine curiosity for collectors digging into the richer, stranger textures of the Bronze Age.
