Mandrac

A creature of Marvel UK's Bronze Age, Mandrac first stalked the pages of Hulk Comic in 1979, born from the imaginations of Lee, Kirby, and Ernie Hart in that distinctive weekly British anthology tradition. With only a handful of recorded appearances across a surprisingly long span stretching to 2021, this is a rare and elusive figure — the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes digging through Marvel UK's rich back catalogue so rewarding. Mandrac keeps genuinely formidable company, sharing adventures with the Hulk, Bruce Banner, and the Black Knight himself, Dane Whitman, alongside the mysterious Valinor — a rogues' gallery of encounters that speaks to the character's place in some genuinely consequential Bronze Age storytelling. For collectors with a passion for Marvel UK's often-overlooked corner of the Marvel universe, Mandrac is exactly the sort of shadowy, intriguing presence worth tracking down.
