Anaconda

Few characters carry the weight of a Bronze Age debut quite like Anaconda, who first coiled into comics in the pages of Spécial Strange #41 in 1985, brought to life by the legendary creative pairing of Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod. Published by Editions Lug, this is a character whose catalog footprint spans a remarkable forty years, keeping genuinely elite company — sharing pages with the likes of Spider-Man, Logan, Ororo Munroe, and Scott Summers. Turning up across Spécial Strange, Iron Man : L'intégrale, and La chose - Le roi de Yancy-Street, Anaconda is a fascinating thread running through decades of comics history, and for collectors with a taste for Bronze Age discovery and the rich world of Franco-Belgian Marvel publishing, she's absolutely worth tracking down.
