Richie Alegria

Richie Alegria stepped onto Marvel's stage in 1997, born from the creative partnership of John Francis Moore and Adam Pollina during their celebrated run on X-Force — one of the most kinetic books of the late Copper/Modern Age. Though their time in the spotlight was brief, Richie shares those pages with a compelling roster including Roberto Da Costa, James Proudstar, Tabitha Smith, and Meltdown, placing them squarely in the orbit of some of Marvel's most dynamic young characters. A small but genuine piece of that late-'90s X-Force tapestry, Richie is the kind of find that rewards the dedicated back-issue hunter who wants the full picture of an era.
