Angel

Emerging from Fantagraphics' provocative late-'90s adult comics scene, Angel made her debut in Hell's Mistress #1 in 1997, a creation of Ron Wilber that planted her firmly in the bold, boundary-pushing spirit of the Copper/Modern Age. Her appearances span Hell's Mistress and the Eros Graphic Albums line — Fantagraphics' storied imprint known for mature, uncompromising storytelling — giving her a niche but genuinely distinctive corner of comics history. A rare find with only a handful of catalog appearances, Angel is exactly the kind of character that rewards the dedicated collector willing to dig beyond the mainstream.
