La Bruja

Stepping out of the gritty streets of DC's late-'80s Copper Age, La Bruja makes her mark in The Huntress — a series that introduced Helena Bertinelli to the world and crackled with urban tension courtesy of creators Joey Cavalieri and Joe Staton. Across her handful of appearances, she shares the page with the Huntress herself, Detective O'Shea, and a cast of characters that give this corner of the DC universe its rough, street-level texture. She may be a compact presence in the catalog, but any collector who loves the moody, morally complex storytelling of that era will find her a compelling piece of a fascinating chapter in DC history.
