Olisa Kabaki

Debuting in the pages of Alpha Flight #57 in 1988 — right at the heart of the Copper Age, when Marvel was pushing bold new voices and Jim Lee was just beginning to electrify comics — Olisa Kabaki is one of those quietly compelling figures whose presence in the Marvel Universe carries real weight despite a selective footprint. Turning up across Alpha Flight and Avengers titles, she keeps formidable company: the likes of Juggernaut, Bedlam, and Conquest share her pages, signaling that her stories run toward the intense end of the spectrum. The fact that she earned a place in the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z confirms she's no throwaway creation — Marvel considered her worth codifying for generations of readers. With a catalog life stretching all the way to 2012, Olisa Kabaki is a Copper Age original worth tracking down for any collector who loves discovering the hidden connective tissue of the Marvel Universe.
