Jester

Stepping out of the early Image Comics explosion, Jester made their debut in WildC.A.T.s: Covert Action Teams #2 in 1992 — right at the heart of that era's bold, boundary-pushing energy. Most of their page time is spent in the gritty world of Wetworks, keeping company with hard-edged figures like Jackson Dane, Mother-One, and Rachel Rhodes, which tells you plenty about the dark, militaristic corner of the Image universe they inhabit. With 15 catalog appearances spanning the mid-'90s and at least one collector-recognized key issue to their name, Jester is the kind of character that rewards the dedicated digger — a piece of early Image history woven into one of that publisher's most atmospheric corners.
