Blood Queen

Emerging from the wild, boundary-pushing energy of Image Comics in 1994, Blood Queen is a Copper/Modern Age figure introduced by creator Francis Takenaga in Wetworks Sourcebook #1 — a publication that helped flesh out one of Wildstorm's most distinctive corners of the universe. Her handful of appearances span some gloriously of-their-era titles, including the Wildstorm Swimsuit Special and Gamorra Swimsuit Special, placing her in evocative company alongside characters like Zealot, Christine Trelane, and Pilgrim. She may be a rarity in the catalog with only four recorded appearances, but for collectors who love hunting the atmospheric edges of the early Wildstorm universe, Blood Queen is exactly the kind of intriguing, era-stamped figure that makes digging through mid-'90s Image books such a rewarding adventure.
