Rocket

Few characters can claim a Bronze Age debut and still be turning up in comics four decades later, but Rocket has done exactly that — first appearing in Titans #58 in 1983 under the Editions Lug banner, the French publisher that brought Marvel's universe to a whole new readership. With 87 catalogued appearances spread across Titans, Wolverine, and Spécial Strange, this is a character with genuine staying power, and five of those appearances carry key-issue weight that collectors have taken notice of. Sharing pages with the likes of Dani Moonstar, Rahne Sinclair, and Roberto Da Costa puts Rocket in lively, adventurous company — and for fans who love digging into the rich, sometimes overlooked world of European Marvel publishing, Rocket is a rewarding discovery worth chasing down.
