Reptilla

Reptilla slithered onto the scene in 1984's Nova #79, a Bronze Age creation bearing the distinguished pedigree of Len Wein, George Pérez, and Joe Sinnott. Published through Editions Lug, this intriguing figure keeps wild company — sharing pages with the likes of Thornn, Gazelle, Vertigo, and Hydron — and turns up across Titans, Marvel Heroes Hors Série, and Nova over a surprisingly long seventeen-year span. Rare and elusive with only a handful of catalog appearances, including one collector-significant key issue, Reptilla is exactly the kind of deep-cut Bronze Age discovery that makes digging through back issues so rewarding.
