Mamba noir

Emerging from the fertile Bronze Age of 1985, Mamba noir made their debut in the pages of Spécial Strange #41 under the hands of Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod, published by the French house Editions Lug. A character who shares their adventures with heavy hitters like Iron Man, Anaconda, La Chose, and Diablo, Mamba noir clearly inhabits a corner of the Marvel universe where the action runs big and the company is anything but quiet. Their presence across Spécial Strange and Iron Man : L'intégrale speaks to a publishing life stretching across four decades — a remarkable span for a figure with a catalog footprint that makes every appearance feel like a collector's discovery worth chasing down.
