Les Défenseurs

A 12-issue French series from Arédit-Artima, Les Défenseurs (1985–1987) adapts the classic Marvel super-team for a European audience. The run draws heavily on the writing of Dann Thomas, Roy Thomas, and Len Wein, with art from Jerry Ordway, Todd McFarlane, and Paris Cullins. It's a key artifact of the era's international comics publishing, showcasing a distinctive mix of American creators and French-market storytelling.
