White Light

A mysterious presence from the Bronze Age of Marvel Comics, White Light materialized in 1984's Iceman #1 — the debut solo series for one of Marvel's most beloved mutants — courtesy of the creative team of J. M. DeMatteis and Alan Kupperberg. With only a handful of appearances concentrated in that short-lived but fondly remembered mid-eighties run, White Light shares the pages with the likes of Bobby Drake and the enigmatic Oblivion, keeping some genuinely compelling company. Rare and tightly bound to a single series, this is exactly the kind of obscure Bronze Age find that makes digging through back-issue bins so rewarding.
