Ebenezer Laughton

A Bronze Age creation born from the legendary partnership of Stan Lee and Gene Colan, Ebenezer Laughton made his debut in Strange #23 in 1971 under the banner of Editions Lug, stepping into a world where he'd share pages with the likes of Warren Worthington III and Scott Summers. His catalog footprint is modest — just three appearances spanning an impressive stretch of titles including X-Men and Les étranges — but that kind of quiet persistence across four decades speaks to a character with staying power in the Franco-Belgian comics landscape. For collectors with a taste for the rare and the international, Ebenezer Laughton is exactly the sort of deep-cut discovery that makes digging through Bronze Age back issues so rewarding.
