Chastity Marks

Chastity Marks is a darkly glamorous horror character created by Brian Pulido, who inhabits a gothic world populated by figures like Purgatori and Lady Demon. She débuted in the mid-1990s indie horror scene as one of its bold, edgy new antiheroes.

Stepping out of the mid-1990s indie horror scene, Chastity Marks made her debut in 1996's Previews Presents Queens of Halloween Ashcan #1, brought to life by Brian Pulido and Justiniano at a moment when Copper/Modern Age comics were hungry for bold, darkly glamorous new voices. Nearly three decades of publication history give her a quietly impressive staying power, and her appearances alongside characters like Purgatori, Evil Ernie, Red Sonja, and Lady Demon place her squarely in some of the most gloriously over-the-top corners of Dynamite Entertainment's universe. Her most prominent pages turn up in titles like Red Sonja: Age of Chaos and Purgatori Must Die!, keeping her close to the action whenever the publisher's most dangerous women share a story. With 28 years on the shelves and a debut issue that already has ashcan collectibility written all over it, Chastity Marks is exactly the kind of character that rewards the fan willing to dig a little deeper into the wilder edges of modern comics.
