Vindicator

Vindicator is the codename used by key members of Canada's Alpha Flight super-team — most notably Heather Hudson, who leads the government-sponsored group. Her adventures appeared in French through Editions Lug's Strange alongside teammates Puck and the Beaubiers.

Bursting onto the scene in 1986 through Editions Lug's Strange, Vindicator is a Copper Age figure whose adventures unfolded across a solid run stretching into the late '90s. The company this character keeps is genuinely impressive — sharing pages with the likes of Heather Hudson, Puck, Jean-Paul and Jeanne-Marie Beaubier, and even Peter Parker himself, placing Vindicator squarely in some thrilling Marvel-adjacent territory. With appearances spread across Strange, Spécial Strange, and Wolverine, this is a character woven into the fabric of a beloved era of comics publishing. Twenty catalog appearances may sound modest, but for devoted collectors of Editions Lug's rich output, Vindicator is exactly the kind of find that makes digging through back issues so rewarding.
