Grayne Hornblower

Grayne Hornblower made their entrance in the pages of Zona X #18 in 1996, born from the imaginations of Federico Memola and Sergio Giardo under the storied banner of Sergio Bonelli Editore — Italy's legendary home of bold, adventurous comics. A creature of the Copper/Modern Age, Grayne inhabits a world populated by compelling figures like Brent Malone, Jakara, Dagon Tarkas, Elphin Magee, and Selene Keidam, a roster that hints at the rich, atmospheric storytelling Zona X was known for. With a run concentrated between 1996 and 1998 and a tight twelve appearances in the catalog, this is precisely the kind of character that rewards dedicated collectors willing to dig into Bonelli's expansive universe — a hidden gem from an era when Italian genre comics were firing on all cylinders.
