Bad Betty

Bad Betty burst onto the Milestone Comics scene in 1994, the creation of a powerhouse trio — Robert L. Washington III, Dwayne McDuffie, and John Paul Leon — and has kept remarkable company ever since, sharing pages with icons like Static, Hardware, and Blitzen across Blood Syndicate and Shadow Cabinet. A product of the Copper/Modern Age's most exciting corner of the DC universe, where Milestone was redefining superhero storytelling with bold, diverse voices, Bad Betty is one of those intriguing figures whose appearances are few but whose presence spans nearly three decades of comics history. For collectors diving deep into the Milestone catalog — especially the essential Milestone Compendium — she's a rewarding discovery, a reminder that the richest universes are built character by character, right down to the ones still waiting to be fully explored.
