Olivia Selby

Stepping out of the murky Florida swamplands of Marvel's Bronze Age, Olivia Selby made her entrance in the pages of Man-Thing #17 (1975), courtesy of the famously offbeat creative team of Steve Gerber and Jim Mooney. That title was one of the era's most genuinely strange and literary corners of the Marvel universe, and Olivia found herself sharing those atmospheric pages with an eclectic cast — including the muck-encrusted Man-Thing himself, the wandering everyman Richard Rory, and the memorably named Mad Viking. With only a handful of catalog appearances, she's a deep-cut Bronze Age discovery, the kind of character that rewards fans who love exploring the weirder, more ambitious edges of 1970s Marvel storytelling.
