Yellowjacket

Bursting onto the scene in The Avengers Annual #17 in 1988, this Yellowjacket is a Copper Age creation from the collaborative talents of Walter Simonson and Mark Bright — arriving at a moment when Marvel was pushing its universe in bold new directions. Over a publishing history that stretches impressively into 2022, this character has kept genuinely elite company, sharing adventures with the likes of Captain America, Iron Man, and Captain Marvel across titles including Chaos War and the sweeping Avengers by Jonathan Hickman: The Complete Collection. With a key issue already to their name and 34 years of appearances on the books, Yellowjacket is a rewarding deep-dive for any collector who loves tracing the connective tissue of the Marvel Universe beyond the household names.
