Kumiko

A striking presence in the dark, shadow-drenched world of Image Comics' Spawn, Kumiko made her entrance in 2006 — deep in the Modern Age of the series — courtesy of creators David Hine and Philip Tan. She moves through a compelling orbit of characters, sharing pages with Spawn himself, Al Simmons, Wanda Blake, and others woven into that richly layered mythology. With five catalog appearances, she's a focused, purposeful figure rather than a sprawling one, and for collectors who love the intricate storytelling that defined Spawn in this era, she's a fascinating piece of that particular chapter's puzzle.
