Le Bolide

A French-language Marvel publication gave birth to Le Bolide in 1997, debuting in Silver Surfer #3 under the creative hands of Gregory Wright, Sophie Viévard, and John Buscema. This Hachette-published character inhabits a corner of the Marvel cosmos where cosmic grandeur meets Franco-Belgian comics culture, sharing pages with luminaries like La Torche Humaine, Bucky, and Robert Frank across titles like Le meilleur des super-héros Marvel and Marvel Classic. Rare in the catalog with just three recorded appearances spanning all the way to 2018, Le Bolide is precisely the kind of intriguing, hard-to-find figure that makes digging through international Marvel editions such a rewarding adventure for the dedicated collector.
