Gargantua

A Marvel UK creation born in the Bronze Age pages of Incredible Hulk Weekly, Gargantua made their debut in 1980 courtesy of Parkhouse and Neary, entering a corner of the Marvel universe where the Hulk, Bruce Banner, and the Black Knight all roamed the same ink-stained adventures. It's a fascinating slice of British Marvel history — the kind of character whose appearances stretch across four decades and turn up in the Captain Britain Omnibus, hinting at a deeper footprint in the UK Marvel landscape than their select number of catalog appearances might first suggest. Rare, atmospheric, and rooted in that distinctive Bronze Age British comics sensibility, Gargantua is exactly the sort of discovery that makes digging through Marvel UK's rich back catalogue so rewarding.
