La Rose

Debuting in the pages of Strange #196 in 1986, La Rose emerged during the Copper Age through the creative hands of Tom DeFalco and Rick Leonardi, finding a home with French publisher Editions Lug. Over roughly twelve years, this character kept genuinely remarkable company — sharing adventures with Spider-Man, Iron Man, Peter Parker, Richard Fisk, and even Puck — a roster that speaks to a rich corner of comics worth exploring. With 14 catalog appearances spread across Strange and Spider-Man, La Rose may be a compact presence, but any character who runs in those circles across more than a decade has earned a place on a curious collector's radar.
