Jessica Hammond

Stepping out of the mid-nineties Italian comics scene, Jessica Hammond made her debut in Zona X #14 in 1996, brought to life by Francesco Donato and Alberto Castiglioni for the legendary house of Sergio Bonelli Editore. Zona X was Bonelli's anthology of the strange and speculative, and Jessica found herself in vivid company — sharing its pages with the likes of Elphin Magee, Brent Malone, the imposing Imperatore Gauns Tarkas, Anith, and Frank across a run that stretched into 1998. With a modest but genuine footprint of twelve catalogued appearances, she's a rewarding discovery for collectors who love digging into the richer corners of European comics history.
