Ébonite

A creature of the Bronze Age French comics scene, Ébonite made their entrance in 1985's Spirit #1 — a debut bearing the unmistakable fingerprints of Will Eisner alongside Jean Moritz and Jerry Grandenetti. Published through Albin Michel across a run stretching into the mid-nineties, this character inhabits a richly populated world, sharing pages with the likes of Denny Colt, the enigmatic P'Gell, and the tentacled menace known as Octopus. Rare in the catalog with just three recorded appearances, Ébonite is one of those tantalizing discoveries that rewards the dedicated collector willing to dig into the European editions of a true comics legend's universe.
