Beat me to a reply to the question.

Yup, Hellcow.

One of my favourite Steve Gerber created Bronze Age characters - mainly because it's quite ridiculous, especially adding a Count Dracula cape to show she's now a vampire.

Yup! One of my favorites as a kid also! I remember laughing at the instantaneous cape as soon as she became a vampire. Just a fun story!

I remember buying this one off the stands and loved the Joe Kubert cover. I really liked the character as well. Once plentiful but getting harder to find in the wild in high grade. I see VG/FN all the time but yet to find one in NM.

I have always really liked this character!

Not an obscure character - Strike 1

Not a Bronze Age character - Strike 2

Not a first appearance - Strike 3, you're out!

1st App. Butterfly in Hell Rider #1.  It should fit into obscure, Bronze, and 1st appearance.

Now that's better! The Butterfly is probably even the most obscure character posted thus far.

First one I thought of. With a Kirby cover no less. I think this and the next two issues were his only appearances.

No, the 3-D Man is pretty obscure, but has at least a few more appearances that I know of.

I've noticed an up tick on this character for some reason. Besides the awesome GIL KANE cover I mean. I have a copy already but is there something going on with this character?

Gil Kane did not draw that cover.

She is also the first black Super Heroine.

I think it's first solo Howard story, but his first appearance is Fear #19.

Cool character, "converted" to Devil Slayer at Marvel when the creator came over. I forget who, but it's Marvel Spotlight 33.

Speaking of MT3... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Man-Thing-3-Intro-1st-Appearance-of-Foolkiller-VF-Complete-1974-Marvel-Comics-/172241403335?hash=item281a633dc7%3Ag%3Ax38AAOSwG-1Wuio8&nma=true&si=aKsQrWZqA5VYUQbM%252F0xlLKeIWlc%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

He only lasted two issues, but I always loved the Copperhead villain from Daredevil. Don't remember exactly which issues it was, but he predated Bullseye.  

Big Barda from Mr Miracle (I think it's issue 2) is another one I've been meaning to get   

Then there's Harvey Bullock from Tec 441 (a sleeper in my opinion).

I hope you're looking for Mr Miracle 4 then!
