Mouse

A creature of the shadows from Marvel's Bronze Age, Mouse debuted in 1980's Marvel Team-Up #93, brought to life by the creative team of Steven Grant, Carmine Infantino, and Tom Sutton. This quietly intriguing figure keeps rarefied company — sharing pages with the enigmatic Shroud and a cast of compelling, street-level characters like Maximillian Coleridge and the Cat. With appearances also in Marvel Super-Heroes, Mouse occupies that rewarding corner of the Bronze Age Marvel universe where the atmosphere is moody and the characters feel genuinely distinctive — exactly the kind of hidden gem that makes digging through back-issue bins so endlessly worthwhile.
