Mom Murphy

Mom Murphy is a supporting character from Marvel's Golden Age humor comics, appearing in titles like Lana and Annie Oakley alongside characters such as Mickey Murphy and Lana Lane in slice-of-life, personality-driven stories.

A warm presence from Marvel's Golden Age, Mom Murphy made her debut in Lana #1 in 1948, stepping onto the page during that wonderfully inventive postwar era when comics were brimming with personality-driven humor and slice-of-life charm. Her appearances across Lana and Annie Oakley place her in lively company — sharing pages with the likes of Mickey Murphy, Lana Lane, and a colorful cast including Eve Noble, Swifty Smith, and E. Worthington Hamm. With only a handful of appearances across 1948–1949, she's a rare find, the kind of background gem that makes Golden Age collecting such a rewarding treasure hunt for fans who love discovering the full, rich tapestry of comics history.
