Box
Box is a Canadian armored hero connected to Alpha Flight, operating within a powerful suit of robotic armor. The character shares adventures alongside Alpha Flight members Aurora, Northstar, and Puck in French-language reprints published by Editions Lug.
Debuting in 1984's Strange #179 under the hands of the legendary Bronze Age team of Frank Miller and Klaus Janson, Box is a fascinating corner of comics history — a character whose adventures unfolded through Editions Lug's French-language pages across a solid run into the late eighties. Keeping remarkable company throughout those issues — sharing stories with the likes of Jeanne-Marie Beaubier, Jean-Paul Beaubier, Puck, Aurora, and even Peter Parker — Box clearly moved in circles where the action never let up. With 25 catalog appearances spread across Strange and Spécial Strange, this is a character who rewards the dedicated collector willing to dig into the rich, distinctly European chapter of Bronze Age comics publishing.
