Gaston

Few villains strut through the pages of comics with quite the swaggering self-regard of Gaston, the bombastic antagonist who made his Marvel comics debut in 1991's Disney's Beauty and the Beast, brought to the page by Bobbi JG Weiss, Linda Woolverton, and Colleen Doran right at the dawn of the Modern Age. Sharing panels with beloved characters like Belle, LeFou, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, and Chip, he's the perfectly insufferable foil at the heart of one of Disney's most cherished stories. His presence has stretched across more than three decades of comics — even earning his own spotlight in Disney Villains: Gaston — a testament to just how irresistible a well-crafted scoundrel can be. If you have a soft spot for Disney comics history or a weakness for a villain who is absolutely, unshakeably convinced of his own greatness, Gaston is absolutely worth seeking out.
