Hellina

Hellina is a demonic anti-heroine from Lightning Comics whose dark, supernatural nature made her one of the more distinctive figures of the 1990s independent scene, headlining her own series and multiple crossover specials after debuting in Perg #4.

Emerging from the independent comics explosion of the mid-1990s, Hellina made her debut in Perg #4 in 1994, brought to life by Joseph A. Zyskowski, Karl Kerschl, and Terral Lawrence for Immortelle Studios — a publisher that embodied the scrappy, boundary-pushing spirit of the Copper/Modern Age. She quickly claimed her own spotlight across titles like Hellina, Cynder/Hellina Special, and Bloodfire / Hellina, proving she had the staying power to anchor and share marquee billing throughout a run stretching into the early 2000s. Her world includes the company of characters like Sandra Lords, and while her catalog footprint is a focused one, fans of indie comics' bold, creator-driven era will find in Hellina a genuine artifact of a thrilling moment when small publishers were swinging for the fences.
