Fantax

Fantax is a fictional superhero character from a French comic book series. He was created by writer "J.K. Melwyn-Nash" (aka Marcel Navarro) and artist "Chott" (aka Pierre Mouchot). The character was created in 1946 as part of the post-war revival of Mouchot's publishing company.

Fantax was the alter-ego of Lord Horace Neighbour, a British diplomat assigned to the United States. Fantax did not have any superpowers but was an exceptional athlete and skilled detective. His costume consisted of a half-hood, a cape, and a shirt emblazoned with a large "F". Neighbour also disguised his personality; being as sophisticated as Lord Neighbour and as street tough as Fantax.

Neighbour was assisted in his crime-fighting by Barbara, his fiancée and later wife; Murph, his butler; P'tit Louis, a muscular assistant; and eventually his children, Horace Junior and Barbara. Horace Junior later became the lead in his own series as Black Boy, first as an independent crime fighter and later as an FBI agent. Mouchot also planned on having Barbara lead her own series in the character of Barbara Tiger but this series never materialized.
