Helga Kleinman

Helga Kleinman stepped onto the page in the very first issue of Gen 13 back in 1994, part of the Copper/Modern Age wave that Jim Lee, Brandon Choi, and J. Scott Campbell rode to wild popularity. She keeps lively company — sharing adventures with Bobby Lane, Roxy Spaulding, Grunge, Freefall, and Percival Edward Chang, the young ensemble that made Gen 13 such a fan favorite. Her presence stretches across nearly three decades of publication, from 1994 all the way to 2022, a quiet testament to the world's staying power. With only a handful of catalog appearances, she's one of those supporting figures who rewards the dedicated reader willing to dig into the corners of a beloved universe.
