Sitting Bullseye

A curiosity from Marvel's wonderfully weird Bronze Age, Sitting Bullseye made their debut in the oversized Marvel Treasury Edition #12 in 1976, conjured up by the singular Steve Gerber and artist Sal Buscema — a creative team that knew how to populate the margins of the Marvel Universe with unforgettable oddities. With a name that crackles with irreverent wit, this character fits perfectly into the anarchic, satirical spirit of that era, and the fact that they've earned a place in the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe speaks to a certain stubborn staying power. Rare in appearances but keeping genuinely eclectic company — including Valkyrie and Iron Man — Sitting Bullseye is exactly the kind of deep-cut Bronze Age gem that rewards the curious collector willing to dig past the household names.
