Michael Clemson

A brief but memorable face from Marvel's mid-nineties anthology scene, Michael Clemson made his debut in Marvel Comics Presents #169 in 1994, brought to life by Barry Dutter and José Fonteriz during comics' restless Copper/Modern Age. His handful of appearances place him squarely in the wild, anything-goes spirit of that era's anthology format, sharing pages with the likes of Lunatik, Vengeance, and Michael Badilino — colorful, edgy company that tells you plenty about the corner of the Marvel Universe he inhabited. Five appearances may be a modest footprint, but for devoted hunters of deep-cut Marvel curiosities, Michael Clemson is exactly the kind of find that makes digging through nineties back issues so rewarding.
