Umar

A denizen of Marvel's mystical realms, Umar made their Bronze Age entrance in the pages of Strange Spécial Origines in 1981, brought to life by the legendary duo of Stan Lee and Marie Severin. Published under Panini France, this character inhabits a richly sorcerous corner of the Marvel universe, sharing their pages with the likes of Docteur Strange, Cléa, Karl Mordo, and L'Ancien — as storied a gathering of mystic figures as comics has to offer. Across nearly four decades of publication, Umar's presence weaves through titles like Doctor Strange and Marvel Classic, a testament to the enduring pull of Marvel's magical mythology for French-language readers. A compact but compelling piece of the international Marvel tapestry, Umar is a rewarding discovery for collectors with a taste for the arcane and the global reach of the House of Ideas.
