Vesper

Stepping out of the early '90s Marvel anthology scene, Vesper made her debut in Marvel Comics Presents #113 (1992), brought to life by the creative team of Joey Cavalieri and Shawn McManus. That title was a proving ground for hidden gems, and Vesper found herself rubbing shoulders with some of Marvel's heaviest hitters — Ghost Rider, Logan, Giant-Man, and Iron Fist among them. With only a handful of catalog appearances, she remains a rare find, the kind of character that rewards the dedicated back-issue hunter who loves uncovering the Copper Age's best-kept secrets.
