Angelfish

Angelfish is a character in the noir-tinged underwater world of Steve Moncuse's indie series The Fish Police, inhabiting a quirky aquatic city alongside detective Inspector Gill and an eccentric cast of sea-creature oddballs.

Angelfish swims into comics with the debut issue of Steve Moncuse's wonderfully offbeat The Fish Police in 1986, a Copper Age indie gem from Fishwrap Productions that brought a quirky, noir-tinged underwater world to life. She's part of a memorably eccentric cast that includes Inspector Gill, the tentacled Oscar the Octopus, the sinister Doctor Calamari, and a rogue's gallery of aquatic oddballs — the kind of company that signals this is no ordinary funny-animal book. Across The Fish Police, Fish Police, and Fish Shticks, Moncuse built a cult following for his subaquatic universe, and Angelfish is woven into that legacy. If you love discovering the weird, wonderful corners of independent comics from the era when small-press creativity was exploding, this is a world absolutely worth diving into.
