Mako

Born in the pages of Marvel Comics Presents in 1989, Mako is a Copper Age creation from the legendary team of Don McGregor and Gene Colan, whose collaboration alone signals that something worth your attention is happening here. A Marvel character whose world intersects with heavy hitters like Black Panther, Coldblood, and Eric Savin, Mako keeps genuinely compelling company across their nine catalogued appearances. Emerging from that distinctive anthology format that Marvel used to spotlight bold, offbeat storytelling, this is exactly the kind of under-the-radar figure that rewards the dedicated back-issue hunter — a character with real creative pedigree waiting to be rediscovered.
