Black Knight

Black Knight is a Marvel character published in German-language editions by Hachette, appearing alongside heroes like Captain America and Iron Man. The Black Knight legacy spans multiple Marvel figures, most notably Dane Whitman, a heroic knight who wields the enchanted Ebony Blade.

A classic Marvel figure finding new audiences through German-language publishing, this Black Knight made their catalog debut in Marvel Klassik #5 in 1999, bringing the legendary Stan Lee and Jack Kirby creative legacy to Hachette's German-language readership. Appearing across titles like Marvel Origins and Die Rächer over more than two decades, this character shares the page with some of Marvel's heaviest hitters — Tony Stark, Captain America, and the armored Iron Man himself — suggesting a place right at the heart of Marvel's heroic mythology. With roots stretching back to Lee and Kirby's foundational storytelling, Black Knight carries the weight of Marvel's most celebrated era into the German collector's market. A compact but meaningful presence across 26 years of publishing, this is a character whose company alone tells you they belong in distinguished company.
