Gorganna

Gorganna made her entrance in the very first issue of Femzine back in 1981, a Bronze Age creation from Bill Black and Willie Blyberg that planted her firmly in AC Comics' distinctive corner of the independent publishing world. Though her catalog footprint is intimate — spanning titles like Bizarre Thrills: The Paragon Publications Story and FemForce Special across a surprisingly wide stretch of three decades — she shares her pages with a colorful roster including The Shade, Tara, and Joan Wayne, the kind of eclectic company AC was famous for keeping. For collectors with a soft spot for independent Bronze Age publishing and the scrappy, passionate storytelling that defined AC's output, Gorganna is exactly the sort of hidden gem that makes digging through back-issue bins so rewarding.
