Mink

Few characters capture the spirit of Marvel's Bronze Age quite like Mink — a figure who stepped onto the page in 1985's Marvel Age Annual #1, brought to life by a remarkable creative team that included Kurt Busiek and Jim Shooter. Over a publishing history stretching across an impressive 36 years, Mink has kept genuinely fascinating company, sharing adventures with the likes of Hyperion, Nighthawk, and Kyle Richmond in the pages of Squadron Supreme and Captain America. With 12 catalog appearances, a key issue to their name, and that kind of longevity, Mink is exactly the sort of deep-cut Marvel gem that rewards the curious collector willing to dig a little deeper than the household names.
