Kikuyo Fujiwaka

Stepping out of the mid-1990s independent comics scene, Kikuyo Fujiwaka made her debut in Mike Grell's Maggie the Cat #1 (1996), a sleek Top Cow title that arrived right at the cusp of the Modern Age. Her small but intriguing footprint spans publishers — from Top Cow to Marvel to the pages of Wizard's coveted Devil's Reign crossover — placing her in genuinely rarefied company alongside the likes of Norrin Radd and Mephisto. With only five catalog appearances, she's a rare find, the kind of character that rewards the dedicated hunter who digs past the household names into the rich, atmospheric corners of '90s comics.
