The Behemoth

A creature of the deep Silver Age, The Behemoth surfaced in the pages of Tales to Astonish in 1966 — brought to life by the legendary trio of Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Johnny Romita at the height of Marvel's most explosive creative era. With only a handful of catalog appearances, this is very much a rarity, a shadowy figure from the oceanic corners of Marvel's Silver Age mythology. The company The Behemoth keeps is genuinely impressive — sharing those Tales to Astonish pages with Namor the Sub-Mariner, Rick Jones, and Betty Ross speaks to the high-stakes world this character inhabits. For collectors who love hunting the overlooked and mysterious figures lurking at the edges of Marvel's golden era, The Behemoth is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through Silver Age back issues so rewarding.
