Tracy Burke

Tracy Burke is a journalist and editor in the Marvel Universe who became a close colleague of Carol Danvers, working alongside her in the media world. A grounded, resourceful civilian, Tracy provides a human anchor to Carol's life outside her super-heroic adventures.

Tracy Burke is one of those quietly essential supporting players who give Marvel's street-level world its human texture — debuting in Ms. Marvel #9 in 1977, right in the thick of the Bronze Age, under the creative hands of Chris Claremont, Keith Pollard, and Joe Sinnott. Over a remarkable 36-year span, Tracy has kept remarkable company, sharing pages with the likes of Carol Danvers, Iron Man, and Hawkeye across titles like Ms. Marvel, Marvels: Eye of the Camera, and Avengers: The Enemy Within. With two collector-recognized key appearances tucked into a catalog run that stretches from the late Bronze Age all the way to 2013, Tracy is a testament to the staying power of a well-crafted supporting character. If you love the connective tissue that makes Marvel's universe feel lived-in and real, Tracy Burke is absolutely worth seeking out.
