Cardinal Lazarus

A figure of unmistakable presence, Cardinal Lazarus stepped onto the page in 1998 when the visionary Jim Lee launched Divine Right, bringing with them an air of mystery and gravity that suits the name perfectly. This Modern Age creation from Semic S.A. inhabits a world populated by compelling characters like Max Faraday, John Lynch, and Christine Blaze, the kind of vivid ensemble that made Divine Right such a distinctive corner of late-'90s comics. With only a handful of catalog appearances across the series' relatively brief run, Cardinal Lazarus is a rare and intriguing find — the sort of character that rewards the dedicated reader who digs deeper into Jim Lee's ambitious storytelling from that era.
