Calypso’s Comic History

The full comic history of Calypso, voodoo witch and partner of Kraven. It's a wild, problematic ride.

We recently talked about Calypso in our latest episode of Weird Lore Bullshit Corner, a podcast where we talk about Spider-Man’s strangest stories and characters. You can find that here.

Thursday Two or More: Teams

DEEP SIX or The Heroes of Hydropolis

Created by Glenn Herdling and Geoff Isherwood. This was a very very very short lived group that did have potential. I believe they only showed up in Namor the Sub-Mariner #58.

Stingray brought Andromeda, Triton, Tamara Rahn and Tiger Shark together to help Namor against false accusations / charges from the surface world, i.e. The Avengers ... again.

Tamara and Tiger Shark, who were a couple at that time, left after this first appearance, but the rest stuck around to help Namor in other stories that finished out the series.

Retconning the Retcon: How the High Evolutionary unnecessarily complicated the Spider-Man: Clone Saga

I honestly NEVER understood why Gerry Conway felt the need to retcon his own writing from the Original 1970s Clone Saga by stating in Spectacular Spider-Man (1976) Annual #8 (which was part of a crossover event from the late 80s called The Evolutionary War), wherein a supervillain called the High Evolutionary revealed that the Jackal (aka, Miles Warren) never actually created any clones of Peter Parker or Gwen Stacy, but instead that Professor Warren mutated his old assistant Anthony Serba and a student named Joyce Delayne into near-perfect replicas of Peter & Gwen with some sort of "DNA virus" that he created:

When I first read what the High Evolutionary said above, my immediate reaction was this:

"Nope! Nuh-Uh! I don't buy it for one minute! DNA does NOT work like that! DNA is NOT Lego Bricks! The idea that a literal college professor created a virus so advanced that can completely alter a person's genetic make-up to resemble a completely different person down to the smallest molecule is somehow even less scientifically plausible than human cloning!"

Needless to say, this retcon created a ton of problems for the writers & editors who worked on The Clone Saga of the 1990s when Ben Reilly was reintroduced into the Spider-Man mythos. Heck, the entire reason the Jackal was controversially resurrected during the Saga as well wasn't simply to provide more misdirections and red-herrings for the characters and readings (poorly I might add...), but also to try and undo Conway's retcons from the Evolutionary War crossover since it would have still been fresh in reader’s minds at the time. At least that's what editor Glenn Greenberg implied in "The Life of Reilly" essay:

However, both writers Howard Mackie & Terry Kavanagh were unable to satisfyingly address these continuity contradictions in either adjective-less Spider-Man (1990) #56 or Web of Spider-Man (1985) #125 respectively, other than quickly suggesting that the High Evolutionary simply just lied about the DNA virus bullcrap before quickly moving on.

It took an entire annual issue in the form of Scarlet Spider Unlimited #1 by writer Glenn Herdling to finally fully address and correct all the plot holes generated by the Evolutionary War crossover, essentially retconning the retcon. It was now revealed that the Jackal was a former assistant of the High Evolutionary who stole some of his superior's technology for his cloning experiments, but when the High Evolutionary discovered this he lied about the clone's existence by making up the DNA virus bullcrap through forged journals of Professor Warren's.

While Scarlet Spider Unlimited #1 did get pretty goofy in areas, such as revealing that there's an entire group of mutated animal people created by the High Evolutionary which secretly worships the Jackal like a god, the issue did at least finally acknowledge and put the High Evolutionary retcons to rest in a satisfactory manner. At least in my opinion as well as editor Glenn Greenberg's...

I still don't understand why Gerry Conway felt the need to go back and retcon the original 1970s Clone Saga in the first place though, especially since he himself wrote it?

It's rare that I can find a Marvel title from the 1980s and 1990s that I don't know anything about or have no context for, but Blackwulf is just such a title. Written by Glenn Herdling and drawn by Angel Medina, the first issue came out on this date back in 1994.

From what I've read online, the title character, Blackwulf, aka Lucien, is a deviant who first appeared in the pages of Thunderstrike before spinning off into his own series. His brother, the original Blackwulf, rebelled against their tyrant father, Tantalus, and was killed. So Lucien took up the name and continued in his brother's place.

It's interesting that even as the Eternals came into prominence again around the time that their movie was coming out that the character wasn't resurrected or brought back into continuity. From what I can tell, he hasn't really shown up anywhere since his series ended.

Soul Search

Daredevil #311

The art is really beautiful here. Stunning in places.

Matt Murdock, zombie.

Our hero is now under the control of Calypso Ezili, doing her dirty deeds. At least for a while, until he begins to resist and Brother Voodoo points him towards a way to get his soul back.

Most intriguing of all, Voodoo drops a hint about what Calypso's eventual endgame is. She wants to bring someone back from the dead. We are left to wonder who...

This is the first genuinely very good issue since #291 - Nocenti's final script - almost 2 years earlier! It is a smart story, well told and with some of the best artwork I've seen in a long time. It was a pleasure from cover to cover. I sincerely wish Glenn Herdling was the regular writer at this point in time.

Calypso has been around for 12 years but the way she was written here makes her one of my new favourite villains. I really want to go back now and re-read her first three appearances again.

On Sale Date: October 6, 1992.

Total Paid Circulation: 125,292 (average #311-322).

Wizard Top 100: #73.

Calypso had some wild schemes back in the day, and not all of them revolves around the webspinner… as discussed in our Weird Lore episode.
