Blacklash

A Bronze Age villain who slithered onto the scene in 1982 courtesy of the sharp creative pairing of Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema, Blacklash is a menacing presence in the pages of Strange, the French Editions Lug publication where this character makes their mark. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Blacklash is a rare find — the kind of deep-cut discovery that serious collectors prize — sharing those pages with heavy-hitters like Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Iron Man. If you love the gritty, kinetic energy that defined Bronze Age comics and enjoy hunting down the overlooked corners of the era, Blacklash is exactly the sort of character worth tracking down.
