Bob Layton's Hercules. His intergalactic Hercules: Prince of Power miniseries from 1984 done by Marvel Comics legend Bob Layton, where Hercules is exiled by Zeus to interstellar space, is a fun, devil may care good time that comes highly recommended and is a true hidden gem.

Excalibur #6 by Chris Claremont and Alan Davis.
Inferno is a big trashy mess. Maybe because it's such a horny book. I don't know. As crossovers go -- it's amazing that the concept of "demons take over New York City and all of the X-Men act like they just discovered cocaine" works at all. It's a lot of demons and drama and broken homes and bad attitudes. Meanwhile, over in Excalibur, for some reason the team flies across the ocean to New York, and Nightcrawler has a meet cute with a gargoyle. Plus Alan Davis art. The coloring in the middle panel is really nice.

Created by Daredevil, Avengers, and Indiana Jones comics writer Dave Michelinie, Lynxana the Huntress was an original character created for the 1985 Marvel STAR Comics line as a villain, an amoral, mercenarial "failed Thundercat" who had their ninja like martial training, strength, and courage, but who washed out and became a bounty hunter.

Gradually, however, Lynxana was reminded of her former ideals and Thundercat chivalry, and eventually teamed with the others temporarily, though she went her own way as she valued her personal freedom.

Lynxana had no appearances apart from the 3 issue arc that introduced her...in the US, that is. Thundercats had strangely durable popularity in the UK, which caused Marvel UK to make Thundercats comics well past the point you'd think, with the last UK issue printed in 1991 (!). Her return story was penned by 2000 AD's Simon Furman, yes, as in Judge Dredd Simon Furman.
(Note the difference in coloring technique. UK comics use "solid" coloring, whereas American comics used the less expensive "dot" or four-color method.)

What's the current legal status of this character? That is unknown, but in the typical work for hire license, Marvel owns any character they create for a licensed series, which is why, for example, Marvel-created original characters in Micronauts like Bug have returned in the proper Marvel Universe, whereas toy characters that were part of the Micronauts license like Prince Acroyear have not, or why Circuitbreaker, the anti-robot bigot enemy of the Transformers created for the Marvel Comic, showed up in the Marvel Secret Wars series. it depends entirely on the specific text of the work for hire contract, but the most likely scenario is that the rights to Lynxana the Hunter are still at Marvel.
Hmm. I wonder if Marvel knows they may have the rights to their very own Thundercat.
