Monteiro

Stepping out of the very first issue of Marvel Comics Presents in 1988, Monteiro is a Copper Age Marvel creation with an impressive pedigree — brought to life by none other than Chris Claremont and John Buscema in one of Marvel's most celebrated anthology titles. With only a handful of appearances to their name, Monteiro is the kind of rare, blink-and-you'll-miss-it figure that makes digging through back issues so rewarding, sharing those early pages with heavy-hitters like Wolverine, Shang-Chi, and the eerie Man-Thing. For collectors who love hunting down the overlooked corners of the Marvel Universe, that debut issue alone makes Monteiro a compelling footnote in a landmark series.
