Abner Jenkins

Abner Jenkins is the Marvel villain known as the Beetle, a mechanic who built a powerful suit of armor to pursue a life of crime, frequently clashing with Spider-Man and other heroes. These German-language Panini editions reprint his Marvel adventures.

Abner Jenkins made his Marvel debut in the Silver Age, introduced by the legendary creative duo of Stan Lee and Don Heck in Hit Comics #23 back in 1967 — and this catalog traces his presence across a remarkable 58-year span through 2025. Published under the Panini Deutschland imprint, his appearances in Marvel Special, Marvel Origins, and Hit Comics put him in genuinely elite company, sharing pages with the likes of Steve Rogers, Peter Parker, Spider-Man, and the Hulk. With two key collector issues among his 14 catalog entries, Abner Jenkins is a Silver Age figure whose longevity speaks for itself — a character worth seeking out for anyone building a serious Marvel reading history.
