Lisa Leavenworth-Bradley

A distinctly Modern Age creation from the sharp-tongued world of Fantagraphics' Hate Annual, Lisa Leavenworth-Bradley stepped onto the page in 2002 courtesy of underground comics legends Peter Bagge and Johnny Ryan. She inhabits the same sardonic, wonderfully uncomfortable universe as Buddy Bradley and Harold Bradley, keeping company with a cast of characters that Bagge has made some of the most recognizable faces in alternative comics. With six catalog appearances across the series' run into the 2011s, she's a focused presence in one of indie comics' most celebrated ongoing anthologies — the kind of character that rewards readers who dig deep into Hate Annual's rich, caustic world.
