Midas

Midas made their mark at the very dawn of the Bronze Age, debuting in 1971 in the pages of Strange — a title from Editions Lug — brought to life by a remarkable creative trio in Stan Lee, Denny O'Neil, and John Romita. With three of their six catalogued appearances recognized as key issues, this is a character whose presence carries genuine collector weight far beyond what raw numbers might suggest. In those pages, Midas keeps extraordinarily distinguished company — sharing adventures with the likes of Matt Murdock, Johnny Storm, and Iron Man — making each appearance feel like a crossroads of Marvel's most compelling figures of the era. A compact but consequential corner of Bronze Age comics history, Midas is exactly the kind of discovery that reminds you why digging through the back-issue bins is always worth it.
