Calypso, loving(?) partner to Kraven the Hunter, has a short but wild ride through Marvel Comics history. From her bongo-playing origins in the early 80s to her confusing and unfortunate demise in the 90s, there’s a lot to talk about with this voodoo witch – including but not limited to: a brief history on Marvel going bankrupt, the coming of the edgelord Arachknight, stepson hijinks, devil doppelgangers, and a few more reasons why Henry will never read a comic book. I wonder why half of these issues aren’t on Marvel Unlimited? #TheYearOfKraven
If you want to check out the images we’re talking about, Jack put together all the comic panels for you to check out on the blog here.
