Who is Tante May?

Tante May is the French-language edition name for Aunt May, Peter Parker's elderly, caring aunt who raised him after the death of his parents, serving as a key emotional anchor in Spider-Man's life.

A beloved figure of the Silver Age brought to French-language readers through Editions Lug, Tante May made her catalog debut in Fantask #4 in 1969, shaped by the legendary hands of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Over an remarkable 45-year publishing span, she has graced 71 appearances across Strange, Marvel, and Spider-Man : l'intégrale, keeping extraordinary company with the likes of Iron Man, Daredevil, and Matt Murdock along the way. With 17 key-issue appearances to her name, she's far more than a background presence — she's a quietly essential thread woven through decades of French Marvel publishing history. For collectors tracing the rich story of how Marvel's universe reached European audiences, Tante May is an irresistible piece of that puzzle.
