Laurie Tomlinson

Laurie Tomlinson made her entrance in the early 1990s through Marvel's Epic line, debuting in 1992 courtesy of creators Dan Chichester and William Simpson — a time when the industry was pushing bold, mature storytelling into exciting new territory. With only a handful of catalog appearances, she's a quietly intriguing figure who shares her pages with a cast including Patrick, Ben Zimmer, Billy, Matt Raines, and Colonel Carter Tiernan, suggesting a world with real dramatic weight and varied personalities. She may be a rarity in the longboxes, but for collectors drawn to the distinctive voice of Marvel's Epic imprint at its early-'90s peak, Laurie Tomlinson is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through back issues so rewarding.
