Madame Xanadu

An immortal sorceress rooted in Arthurian legend, Nimue Inwudu is a mystical seer who has walked the Earth for centuries. Operating from a Greenwich Village shop, she uses her mastery of tarot reading and deep supernatural insight to guide — and warn — those who cross her threshold.

Mysterious, timeless, and draped in the mystical corners of the DC Universe, Madame Xanadu has been a fixture of supernatural storytelling since her Bronze Age debut in Showcase #96 in 1977, brought to life by the legendary Curt Swan. Over nearly five decades she has woven her way through DC's most arcane titles — from The Spectre to Justice League Dark and Justice League of America — keeping extraordinary company with the likes of Deadman, John Constantine, and Batman along the way. With 91 catalog appearances, two of them recognized as collector-significant key issues, and a publishing history stretching from 1977 all the way to 2025, she is one of DC's most enduring figures of the occult. If you love the shadowed, mystical side of superhero comics, Madame Xanadu is absolutely worth your time.
