Docteur Octopus

A Silver Age villain of the highest order, Docteur Octopus made their French-language debut in Fantask #7 in 1969, brought to life by the legendary creative duo of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko for Editions Lug. Over a remarkable 56-year publishing history, this iconic figure has shared pages with some of Marvel's greatest — Spider-Man, Daredevil, Iron Man, J. Jonah Jameson, and Mary Jane Watson — turning up most frequently across Strange, Ultimate Spider-Man, and Spider-Man. With 102 catalog appearances and a full 10 collector-recognized key issues to their name, this is a character whose footprint in Franco-Belgian comics history is as imposing as their reputation — essential reading for any serious collector of Marvel's European editions.
