Le Chevalier Noir

Few characters carry quite the mystique of a name like Le Chevalier Noir — "The Black Knight" in the language of their debut — who first rode onto the page in Aventure dans la Jungle #5 in 1973, a Bronze Age arrival published by the French house Editions Lug. With over five decades of appearances stretching all the way to 2025, this figure has proven a remarkably enduring presence in the French Marvel publishing landscape, appearing most frequently across beloved collections like Strange, Marvel Comics - La collection, and Marvel Classic. The company here is genuinely elite: the same issues bring together the likes of Iron Man, Captain America, and Tony Stark himself, placing Le Chevalier Noir in some of the most storied corners of Marvel's translated canon. With 40 catalog appearances and at least one recognized key issue to their name, this is a character that rewards the dedicated collector with a distinctly Franco-Belgian flavour of Marvel history.
