Death Adder

A creature of the Bronze Age's darker edge, Death Adder slithered onto the page in 1985 courtesy of Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod, debuting in the pages of Spécial Strange from Editions Lug. With only a handful of catalog appearances, this is a rare, elusive figure — the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes longtime collectors light up — sharing those shadowy adventures with the likes of Anaconda, Stingray, and even Logan and Alison Blaire. Brief but striking, Death Adder is exactly the sort of Bronze Age enigma worth hunting down.
