Crâne d'Oeuf

Crâne d'Oeuf is the French-language edition name for Egghead (Elihas Starr), a Marvel supervillain and scientific genius who uses his formidable intellect for crime, becoming a persistent enemy of Ant-Man and the Avengers.

Crâne d'Oeuf stepped onto the page in 1986 through the pages of Ombrax-Saga — the Editions Lug French-language anthology that brought Marvel adventures to francophone readers — courtesy of the creative team of Roger Stern and Al Milgrom. A Copper Age arrival with a surprisingly long tail stretching across nearly three decades, this character keeps genuinely intriguing company: the likes of Elihas Starr, Janet Van Dyne, Abner Jenkins, and Opale populate the same issues, signaling a world rich with Marvel flavor. Rare in the catalog with only a handful of logged appearances spread across Ombrax-Saga, Marvel Classic, and Titans, Crâne d'Oeuf is exactly the kind of find that rewards the dedicated collector who loves hunting through the distinctive legacy of French Marvel publishing.
