Dark Angel

Shevaun Haldane became Dark Angel after inheriting a sentient suit of living fabric with cosmic properties from her criminal father. Armed with this otherworldly garment, she operates as a British superhero alongside Marvel UK figures like Motormouth and Minion.

Bursting onto the Marvel UK scene in 1993, Dark Angel is a Copper/Modern Age creation from Gary Russell and Duke Mighten who carved out a distinctive corner of British superhero comics. Sharing adventures with the likes of Shevaun Haldane, Motormouth, and Minion, this character orbits a wonderfully idiosyncratic roster of Marvel UK personalities across titles including Dark Angel, Dark Guard, and Captain Britain and MI13. That last title speaks to a remarkable longevity — a character debuting in 1993 still making appearances in 2014 has clearly left a genuine mark on the British Marvel landscape. For collectors with a taste for the rich, underappreciated world of Marvel UK, Dark Angel is exactly the kind of find that rewards digging deeper.
