Eliot Franklin

Eliot Franklin made his entrance in the Bronze Age pages of Strange #177 in 1984, brought to life by the reliable creative duo of Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema for Editions Lug. Over four decades this character has kept remarkably distinguished company — sharing adventures with the likes of Spider-Man, Peter Parker, Iron Man, and Logan — a roster that speaks to a presence woven into the broader fabric of Marvel storytelling. Turning up across titles like Ultimate Spider-Man and Marvel Icons Hors Série alongside the formidable Thunderball, Eliot Franklin is one of those figures whose quiet persistence through 41 years of publishing rewards the dedicated collector willing to dig a little deeper into the corners of the Marvel universe.
