In the mid-1970s, Misty Knight burst onto the pages of Marvel Comics. Before Storm, Shuri, or Riri, Misty opened the doors of comics as Marvel's first Black woman super hero.
A detective and martial artist with a bionic arm that gives her heroic strength, Misty personified the uncurrent of independent Black media and the budding post-soul culture. First appearing 1975, she broke down stereotypes to become one of the backbone characters of the Marvel Universe.
Illustrated with full-color art, Angélique Roché's entry in the MARVEL AGE OF COMICS takes a deep dive into the development of Misty Knight's character and how she paved the way for future heroes.
