De Ruyter the Bull

De Ruyter the Bull is a Marvel character who debuted in the landmark hundredth issue of Marvel Team-Up, crossing paths with Storm and the Black Panther in stories connected to the Marvel universe's African settings.

A creature of the Bronze Age Marvel universe, De Ruyter the Bull made a memorable entrance in the landmark Marvel Team-Up #100 in 1980 — a collector-significant milestone issue brought to life by the formidable creative trio of Chris Claremont, Frank Miller, and Bob Wiacek. Across a surprisingly enduring presence stretching all the way to 2006, this character surfaces most notably in Storm and Marvel Team-Up, sharing pages with luminaries like Ororo Munroe and T'Challa. Rare in the catalog but rich in pedigree, De Ruyter the Bull is the kind of deep-cut Marvel find that rewards the curious reader willing to dig into the corners of Bronze Age storytelling.
