Who is Medusa?

Medusa is a Marvel character introduced in 1966 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, best known as a member of the Inhumans with prehensile, superhumanly strong hair she can wield as a weapon. This edition reprints her early Silver Age appearances alongside characters like Reed Richards.

Medusa made her mark on the Silver Age when Stan Lee and Jack Kirby introduced her in 1966, and this BSV-Williams edition captures that debut energy in vivid fashion. Spanning an impressive sixty years of publication history, she's a character whose staying power speaks for itself — with three key collector issues among her appearances, she's not just a background player but a genuine landmark figure. Her adventures place her in remarkable company: the pages she shares include Reed Richards, Johnny Storm, and Susan Storm-Richards, putting her squarely in the orbit of Marvel's first family at their Silver Age peak. Whether you're encountering her through Hit Comics, Marvel Origins, or Die Fantastischen Vier, this is a character whose sixty-year arc and Kirby-Lee pedigree make her absolutely worth tracking down.
