Helen Sheldon
From the very first issue of Nathan Never in 1991, Helen Sheldon stepped into the gritty, science-fiction world that Sergio Bonelli Editore built around one of Italian comics' most celebrated series — a Copper/Modern Age debut that placed her in genuinely distinguished company, sharing pages with Nathan Never himself, Legs Weaver, and even the legendary Zagor. Over a quarter-century of publication across Nathan Never, Agenzia Alfa, and Nathan Never Annozero, she proved herself a recurring presence in a richly imagined universe, with two of her appearances earning collector-significant key-issue status. Seven catalog appearances may sound modest, but in the tight, character-driven world of Bonelli storytelling, that kind of staying power across 25 years speaks for itself — and for any fan looking to explore Italian comics beyond the mainstream, Helen Sheldon is a compelling thread to follow.
