Cleo Haddad

Emerging from the mid-1990s Italian comics scene, Cleo Haddad made her debut in Zona X #15 (1996), brought to life by creators Federico Memola and Beniamino Del Vecchio for the storied house of Sergio Bonelli Editore. Zona X was one of Bonelli's more adventurous anthology series of the era, and Cleo found herself in intriguing company — sharing pages with the likes of Rei Noah, Robinson Hart, Temis Nakamura, sergente Kropotkin, and Adam across her appearances. Her presence in the catalog may be compact, but for fans of late-'90s Italian genre comics and the distinctive Bonelli universe, she's a rewarding discovery from a creative moment when the publisher was pushing boldly into new storytelling territory.
