Wide-Load Annie

Wide-Load Annie is a supporting character in Marvel's trucker-themed series U.S. 1, part of the colorful roadside cast surrounding protagonist U.S. Archer in the world of CB radio culture and long-haul trucking.

A fixture of one of Marvel's most delightfully offbeat Bronze Age experiments, Wide-Load Annie rolled onto the scene in 1983's U.S. 1 #1, courtesy of creators Al Milgrom and Herb Trimpe. She's part of the colorful cast that populated this short-lived but fondly remembered trucker-themed series, sharing the road with the likes of U.S. Archer, Ed Wheeler, and Poppa Wheelie. With 11 catalog appearances concentrated in U.S. 1's brief 1983–1984 run, she's a genuine slice of Bronze Age Marvel curiosity — the kind of character that makes digging through back-issue bins such a rewarding adventure.
