Marie Lathrop

Riding straight out of the Golden Age of comics, Marie Lathrop made her debut in All Western Winners #2 in 1948, brought to life by the creative team of Leon Lazarus and Syd Shores for what would become Marvel's storied publishing legacy. Her brief but notable run — spanning the late 1940s into 1950 across All Western Winners and Black Rider — places her squarely in that sun-baked era of frontier adventure that captivated postwar readers. She keeps remarkable company on those pages, sharing adventures with the likes of The Black Rider, Clay Harder, and Jim Lathrop, among others. With only three catalog appearances and one recognized key issue among them, Marie Lathrop is exactly the kind of rare, quietly significant figure that makes Golden Age collecting such a rewarding treasure hunt.
