Salacious B. Crumb

Few characters make such an outsized impression with so little page time as Salacious B. Crumb, who first crawled into comics history in Marvel Super Special #27 in 1983, brought to life by the stellar Bronze Age team of Archie Goodwin, Al Williamson, and Carlos Garzón. Debuting in the company of heavyweights like Jabba the Hutt, Boba Fett, Han Solo, and Darth Vader, this small but memorable figure has somehow kept a foothold in the Star Wars comics universe all the way through 2024 — a remarkable four-decade presence for a character with a famously compact catalog. With a key-issue appearance to their name and turns in titles ranging from Marvel Super Special to Star Wars: Bounty Hunters, Salacious B. Crumb is a collector's curiosity and a testament to how even the most unlikely characters from the Bronze Age can endure.
