Georges Baptiste

A Bronze Age discovery waiting to be made, Georges Baptiste first appeared in 1983 courtesy of the legendary creative pairing of Chris Claremont and John Byrne — names that defined an era of Marvel storytelling. Published by Editions Lug, this character inhabits a fascinating corner of the Marvel universe as presented to French-speaking readers, sharing pages with heavy-hitters like Wendigo, Peter Raspoutine, and the ever-looming presence of Ben Grimm. Turning up across Spécial Strange, Hulk, and Marvel : Les origines over a span of roughly two decades, Georges Baptiste may be a compact catalog presence, but any character born from that Claremont-Byrne collaboration and kept in such distinguished company is absolutely worth a second look for the dedicated collector.
