B'liale

Emerging from the mid-'90s Maximum Press universe, B'liale made their debut in the crossover event Avengelyne/Glory #1 (1995), courtesy of creators Robert Napton and John Stinsman. This Copper/Modern Age figure inhabits a corner of comics defined by bold, high-energy storytelling, sharing pages with heavyweights like Avengelyne and Glory across titles including Asylum and Avengelyne Armageddon. With only nine catalog appearances concentrated in a tight 1995–1997 window, B'liale is a compact, intriguing piece of '90s independent comics history — exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes hunting through Maximum Press back issues such a rewarding adventure.
