Achmed El-Gibar

Born in the pages of The X-Men #102 in 1976, Achmed El-Gibar is a Bronze Age Marvel creation brought to life by the legendary team of Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum — the very architects of the X-Men's most celebrated era. Over a publishing span stretching from 1976 all the way to 2009, this figure has kept remarkable company, sharing adventures in the same issues as Cyclops, Storm, and Jean Grey at the height of their glory days. With seven catalog appearances including one collector-recognized key issue, and a presence across The X-Men, Classic X-Men, and the Marvel Masterworks reprints, Achmed El-Gibar is a genuine piece of Bronze Age X-history — the kind of character that rewards the devoted reader digging deep into one of comics' most storied runs.
