Guêpe

Guêpe is the French-language edition of Janet Van Dyne, the Wasp — founding Avenger and partner to Hank Pym (Ant-Man). She possesses the ability to shrink, fly with insect wings, and fire bioelectric 'stinger' blasts, and famously coined the name 'the Avengers.'

A Silver Age gem from the pages of French publisher Editions Lug, Guêpe made their debut in Fantask #6 in 1969, brought to life by the legendary duo of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. With 153 catalog appearances spanning an remarkable 56 years and seven key issues to their name, this is a character whose staying power speaks for itself — a fixture across Strange, Titans, and Thor, keeping extraordinary company with the likes of Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor. For collectors with a taste for the rich history of Marvel comics as they traveled across the Atlantic and found new life in French editions, Guêpe is a fascinating thread to pull — a Silver Age character whose long journey through the decades makes every appearance worth hunting down.
