Belladonna

Howard Chaykin brought Belladonna to life in 1994 as part of Malibu's Power & Glory, a sharp, stylish series that arrived at the height of comics' modern era when independent publishers were pushing bold, adult-oriented storytelling. With only a handful of catalog appearances, she's a rare figure — the kind of character who haunts the margins of a cult title, sharing pages with a compelling ensemble that includes Vaughn Robillard, Michael Gorski, and Vanessa Cheng. For collectors who love digging into Chaykin's distinctively cynical, design-forward work, tracking down Belladonna's appearances in Power & Glory is exactly the kind of rewarding deep-dive that reminds you why the early '90s Malibu lineup still deserves a second look.
