La Veuve Noire

Born in the Bronze Age pages of L'Inattendu #1 in 1975, La Veuve Noire is a character with genuine collector pedigree — ten key issues across a remarkable fifty-year publishing history that stretches all the way to 2025. Brought to life by the celebrated creative team of Don McGregor and Rich Buckler, she found her home primarily in the pages of Strange, Titans, and Spécial Strange under Editions Lug, the beloved French publisher that introduced generations of European readers to the wider Marvel universe. With 100 catalog appearances and a roster of page-sharing companions that includes Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Iron Man, La Veuve Noire is a fascinating lens into the rich Franco-Belgian comics tradition — a character well worth tracking down for any serious collector of international Bronze Age material.
