Calypso, loving(?) partner to Kraven the Hunter, has a short but wild ride through Marvel Comics history. From her bongo-playing origins in the 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
You can see the whole story unfold in our Calypso’s Comic Book History, but here are a few bonus panels I referenced in the pod that didn’t make it into that blog post.
As discussed on the podcast, a cursed panel that haunts my dreams to this day. My brain really fights itself trying to interpret the teeth as teeth and not another lip.

And other than that, here are are the cursed screenshots from Calypso’s appearance in the Spider-Man 3 Movie video game.
Beyond that, we’ve got the panels to back-up this episode with Calypso’s Comic History over here, unless you want to see more Weird Lore episodes – then click here.
