Margô Damian

A creature of the Bronze Age Brazilian comics scene, Margô Damian made her entrance in 1984 through the pages of Superaventuras Marvel, the celebrated Editora Abril series that brought Marvel's world to Portuguese-language readers. Her catalog of appearances is compact but choice — just ten issues, running through 1986, yet every one places her in remarkable company: the likes of Wolverine, Ororo Munroe, Kurt Wagner, and the cosmic Ikaris share those same pages, courtesy of the legendary creative pairing of Chris Claremont and John Byrne at the very height of their powers. For collectors who love hunting the edges of the Marvel universe — the regional gems and the characters who exist in that tantalizing space between the mainstream and the local — Margô Damian is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through back-issue bins so rewarding.
