L'Epouvantail

A creature of shadows and dread, L'Epouvantail made a striking entrance into the Bronze Age through the pages of Strange #23 in 1971, brought to life by the legendary pairing of Stan Lee and Gene Colan for Editions Lug. Over a publishing span stretching across four remarkable decades, this figure has kept some extraordinary company — sharing pages with the likes of Warren Worthington III, Scott Summers, and the sinister L'Anguille. A rare find with just a handful of catalogued appearances, L'Epouvantail is exactly the kind of elusive, atmospheric presence that makes digging through a long run of Strange or X-Men so rewarding for the dedicated collector.
