Ratus

Ratus made their entrance in 1991 through the French Panini publication Un Récit Complet Marvel, brought to life by the legendary cosmic-comics partnership of Jim Starlin and Ron Lim — the very duo who defined Marvel's grandest, most universe-shaking stories of the Copper Age. With a catalog presence spanning all the way to 2013, this character occupies a fascinating corner of Marvel's French-language publishing history, rubbing shoulders across the pages with titans like Thanos, Uatu, and En Dwi Gast. Rare appearances only add to the intrigue — for devoted collectors of Marvel's cosmic edge and its international publishing legacy, Ratus is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through the longboxes worthwhile.
