Tillie the Hun

Few characters can claim a debut in the oversized, gloriously chaotic pages of a Marvel Treasury Edition, but Tillie the Hun made her entrance there in 1976, conjured by the irreverent Bronze Age genius of Steve Gerber and Sal Buscema. With only a handful of catalog appearances to her name, she's the kind of deep-cut Marvel curiosity who shares her adventures with the likes of Valkyrie and Iron Man, yet has earned a spot in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe — which means Marvel considered her worth cataloguing for the ages. For collectors who love the wonderfully weird fringes of the Bronze Age, tracking down Tillie is exactly the sort of rewarding rabbit hole that makes digging through back issues so irresistible.
