Lavour

Emerging from the vivid fantasy landscape of Marvel's Bronze Age, Lavour made their debut in The Saga of Crystar, Crystal Warrior #1 in 1983, brought to life by the creative team of Mary Jo Duffy and Bret Blevins. That series was a gloriously ambitious sword-and-sorcery experiment, and Lavour shares its pages with a memorable cast of characters — Crystar, Moltar, Zardeth, Koth, and Stalax among them — a company that signals just how richly populated this fantastical world truly was. With the series running only from 1983 to 1985, every appearance counts, and Lavour's nine turns in the catalog make them a genuine piece of a cult classic that rewards curious collectors willing to dig into one of Marvel's more distinctive Bronze Age adventures.
