Who is Red Skull?

Born into the pages of The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #5 in 1968, this Red Skull is a Silver Age Marvel creation shaped by the legendary hands of Stan Lee, Larry Lieber, and John Romita — an immediate sign that something significant was being set in motion. Across a catalog presence stretching all the way to 2023, the character has kept extraordinary company, sharing adventures with Spider-Man, Peter Parker, Betty Brant, and none other than Captain America himself, as well as the enigmatic Albert Malik. Whether haunting the pages of The Amazing Spider-Man Annual or Captain America, this is a figure woven deep into Marvel's fabric — and with 55 years of publication history behind the name, any appearance is worth a closer look for the serious collector.
