A'Lars

A'Lars is an Eternal of Titan and the father of Thanos and Eros. A pacifist scientist, he left Earth's Eternals to found a colony on Saturn's moon Titan, where he became patriarch of a small but consequential civilization.

Born into the Bronze Age pages of a 1978 French-language publication from Editions Lug, A'Lars is a figure whose presence quietly threads through some genuinely cosmic company — sharing adventures with the likes of Thanos, Éros, Drax le Destructeur, and Captain America across titles like Les Eternels and Captain Marvel - La vie de Captain Marvel. Brought to life by the distinctive pairing of Steve Gerber and Don Heck, this character has maintained a place in the catalog across a remarkable 45-year span, right through to 2023. With 17 appearances including one collector-recognized key issue, A'Lars may not dominate the page count, but the caliber of the stories and characters surrounding them makes every appearance worth tracking down for the devoted reader of cosmic Marvel in its French edition glory.
