Strange Spécial Origines

A French-language anthology series from Semic S.A., Strange Spécial Origines ran for 35 issues between 1989 and 1996, reprinting foundational American superhero tales for a new audience. The series drew heavily on the work of legends like Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Chris Claremont, Dave Cockrum, and Frank Miller, assembling origin stories and key sagas from Marvel's pantheon. Its recurring focus on Le Chevalier Noir (The Black Knight) helped anchor the collection, making it a vital gateway for French readers to discover the classic runs that shaped modern comics.
