Mary Roche

Mary Roche made her entrance in the pages of FemForce: Out of the Asylum Special #1 in 1987, a creation of Bill Black and a product of the fertile Copper Age indie comics scene that AC Comics championed so boldly. Over nearly four decades she has woven her way through some genuinely eclectic company — sharing adventures with powerhouses like Ms. Victory and Black Venus, and even crossing paths with the legendary Green Lama and his alter ego Jethro Dumont, as well as turning up in the wild crossover territory of Vampirella versus Red Sonja. She's the kind of character who rewards the dedicated collector willing to dig into AC's distinctive corner of the universe — thirty appearances across titles that span superhero action, pulp revival, and beyond, all testifying to a quiet but real staying power that few Copper Age creations can claim.
