Mary Ford

Mary Ford made her entrance into the world of Sergio Bonelli Editore in 1988, stepping onto the page in Nick Raider #7 courtesy of creators Claudio Nizzi and Gustavo Trigo. A Copper Age figure from an Italian comics tradition beloved for its gritty crime and detective storytelling, she moves through a compelling cast that includes Nick Raider himself, tenente Arthur Rayan, Jimmy Garnet, Marvin Brown, and capitano Philip Vance. Her appearances span both the main Nick Raider series and the Speciale Nick Raider editions — and for collectors drawn to the rich world of Bonelli's crime comics, even a character with a select few appearances can carry real weight in the story's atmosphere.
