Vipère

Vipère is the French-language edition name for Viper (Madame Hydra), Marvel's deadly HYDRA operative and master manipulator who frequently crosses paths with Wolverine and other Marvel heroes as a cunning villain and occasional anti-hero.

Born in the Bronze Age pages of Le Manoir des Fantômes #21 in 1981 under the hands of Murray Boltinoff and Abe Ocampo, Vipère is a compelling presence in the French comics landscape, published across an impressive span stretching all the way to 2024. Appearing most frequently in Wolverine, Titans, and Spécial Strange — Panini France editions that have brought Marvel's heaviest hitters to francophone readers — this character keeps genuinely electrifying company, sharing pages with the likes of Steve Rogers, Captain America, Iron Man, and Logan. With 43 years of catalog presence and appearances alongside some of Marvel's most iconic names, Vipère is a rewarding discovery for collectors who love tracing how beloved comics found their voice in French print.
