27 Years Ago, An Iconic Marvel Character Was Killed After Hundreds of Comics (And They’ve Never Returned)

Karen Page stands out as a fascinating love interest in Marvel comics, largely due to the way her character was handled over the years. Initially, she filled a common role – the supportive love interest, similar to characters like Pepper Potts or Gwen Stacy – but she eventually faded into the background as Daredevil repeatedly turned to relationships complicated by his own internal conflicts. Karen later reappeared in Frank Miller’s iconic “Born Again” storyline, though it’s also known for its problematic portrayal of female characters. She continued to be featured, playing a key role in a particularly compelling, yet often overlooked, era of Daredevil comics, specifically during the run by Karl Kessel and Cary Nord, which helped to rebuild her character before her eventual death.
