Super-Bouffon

Bursting onto the French comics scene in 1988 within the pages of Strange #222, Super-Bouffon is a Copper Age creation brought to life by the talents of Peter David, Alan Kupperberg, and Tom Morgan — and published through Panini France across an impressive three-decade span stretching all the way to 2019. This character inhabits a world populated by some of Marvel's most iconic figures, sharing pages with the likes of Spider-Man, Peter Parker, J. Jonah Jameson, and Ben Reilly, which speaks to the colorful, high-stakes corner of the Marvel universe they call home. Appearing most frequently in Spider-Man and Daredevil collections, Super-Bouffon is a fascinating piece of Franco-Belgian Marvel publishing history — a character whose longevity across 31 years makes them well worth a closer look for any serious collector of international comics.
