About the series
From 1987, Marvel's Codename: Spitfire was a taut, four-issue limited series that put the patriotic heroine Spitfire—alongside Jenny Swenson—through a high-stakes espionage thriller. Crafted by a rotating team of writers including Cary Bates, Fabian Nicieza, and Len Kaminski, with art by Dave Hoover, Grant Miehm, and Javier Saltares, this Cold War-era adventure delivered a tight, action-packed story that showcased a lesser-known corner of the Marvel Universe. It remains a concise, self-contained snapshot of its time, notable for its focused creative collaboration and its spotlight on a character with deep ties to Marvel's WWII legacy.
