Rosa

A child of Marvel's modern frontier, Rosa made her debut in John Ostrander and Leonardo Manco's Apache Skies in 2002, stepping into a gritty, revisionist Western corner of the Marvel Universe. She keeps remarkable company — sharing pages with the likes of Apache Kid, Rawhide Kid, and Joanna Cargill — which speaks to the rich, genre-blending world Ostrander built around her. Her presence in the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z confirms she earned her place in Marvel's wider canon, not just a single story. A rare gem from an underappreciated era of Marvel Westerns, Rosa rewards the curious reader willing to dig into the dusty, atmospheric world of Apache Skies.
