L'Homme-Singe

Born in the Bronze Age pages of Aventure dans la Jungle #5 (1973) under the creative hands of Roy Thomas and John Buscema, L'Homme-Singe is a fascinating artifact of French-language comics publishing through Editions Lug, whose catalog brought Marvel-era adventures to a whole new readership. Over a run stretching from 1973 to 1986, this character surfaces across Titans and Aventure dans la Jungle, sharing pages with a remarkable roster that includes Tigra, Janet Van Dyne, and Ultron — serious company by any collector's measure. With four catalog appearances and one recognized key issue to their name, L'Homme-Singe is the kind of rare, continental curio that rewards the dedicated hunter of Bronze Age international comics.
