Harlem heat keeps building. Luke Cage, Hero for Hire #5 introduces Black Mariah, one of Cage’s earliest and most enduring villains—crime boss energy, zero patience, and fully in control of her corner of the city.
This 1973 Bronze Age issue brings that gritty, street-level Marvel tone that made Luke Cage stand out from day one. This raw copy sits in Near Mint Minus (NM-) condition with sharp presentation and colors as vibrant as the day it was printed.
An under-the-radar first appearance with real character depth, especially for collectors building out Luke Cage’s early run. These issues don’t stay overlooked forever—especially in high-grade condition like this.
