Chose

Chose is the French-language name for The Thing, Benjamin J. Grimm, the superhumanly strong member of the Fantastic Four. Exposed to cosmic rays alongside Reed Richards, Sue Storm, and Johnny Storm, pilot Ben Grimm was transformed into an orange, rocky-hided powerhouse.

Stepping out of the Silver Age with a debut in Fantask #6 in 1969, Chose is a character published by Editions Lug whose comics journey stretches across an impressive 56 years. Born from the creative partnership of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Chose keeps remarkable company — sharing pages with the likes of Ben Grimm, Johnny Storm, Mister Fantastic, and Red Richards — names that signal adventures at the grandest scale Marvel's Silver Age had to offer. With appearances spread across Fantask, Fantastic Four - La Chute de Fatalis, and Avengers Hors Série, and two key issues to their name, Chose is a collector's discovery that rewards the curious fan willing to dig into the rich, globe-spanning world of international comics publishing.
