Black Talon

A rare artifact of the mid-1980s Franco-Belgian comics scene, this Black Talon made their mark in Vengeur #5 (1986), published by Editions Lug and brought to life by the formidable creative trio of Gerry Conway, John Buscema, and Joe Sinnott. With only a handful of catalogued appearances spread across Titans and Vengeur, this is a genuinely scarce find — the kind of character that serious collectors of European Marvel reprints quietly prize. What makes the debut especially tantalizing is the stellar company on those pages: Iron Man, Wonder Man, Janet Van Dyne, Wanda Maximoff, and Hank Pym all share the adventure, giving this obscure Copper Age figure a surprisingly high-wattage backdrop worth hunting down.
