Dion

Dion is a supporting character in the fantasy world of Aria, a folklore-infused Image Comics series distinguished by Jay Anacleto's lush artwork. Moving among figures like Robin Goodfellow and Count Iblis, Dion inhabits a mythic realm far removed from the superhero mainstream.

Stepping out of the late-nineties Image Comics boom, Dion made their debut in Jay Anacleto's Aria Preview #1 in 1998 — part of a richly imagined fantasy world that distinguished itself from the superhero mainstream with lush artwork and mythic atmosphere. Over a handful of appearances across Aria, Aria Preview, and ARIA: The Soul Market, Dion keeps vivid company with the likes of Kildare, Gwynnion, Ondine, Robin Goodfellow, and Count Iblis — a roster that hints at a world steeped in folklore and the fantastical. A character of the Copper/Modern Age transition, Dion may be a rarer presence in the catalog, but that's part of the appeal — a hidden gem for fans who love discovering the deeper corners of Image's ambitious late-nineties fantasy output.
