Wallace Corlee

Bronze Age Marvel has its share of swamp-soaked mysteries, and Wallace Corlee is one of the more intriguing figures lurking at the edges of that murky world. Debuting in 1973's Fear #12 — brought to life by the singular creative pairing of Steve Gerber and Jim Starlin — Corlee emerges from the same eerie corner of the Marvel universe that gave us Man-Thing and the haunted souls who cross his path, sharing pages with the likes of Ted Sallis and Ellen Brandt. His appearances span a surprisingly wide arc from 1973 to 1994, touching titles like Fear, Man-Thing, and Book of the Dead, which speaks to a quiet persistence that collectors of Bronze Age horror-tinged Marvel will want to track down.
