Cordelia

A figure of quiet but unmistakable presence, Cordelia made her comics debut in Spike #4 in 2011, brought to life by writer Brian Lynch and artist Nicola Zanni under IDW Publishing. Emerging in the Modern Age alongside a vivid cast that includes Spike, Willow Rosenberg, Drusilla, Betta George, and Groosalugg, she inhabits a richly populated corner of that series' universe. With four catalog appearances concentrated in the Spike title, she may be a compact presence — but in comics, sometimes the most intriguing characters leave you wanting more.
