Mei Ling

Mei Ling is the woman who married the scarred bounty hunter Jonah Hex, bringing an unexpected tenderness to his hard, violent life on the post-Civil War frontier. Her presence challenged Hex's lone-wolf existence, representing the possibility of domesticity amid his brutal world.

Mei Ling steps onto the page in 1986, part of the Copper Age world of Jonah Hex as published by Semic, brought to life by a remarkably talented creative team that included Sergio Aragonés, O'Neil, Mike Sekowsky, and Nick Cardy. She keeps vivid company — sharing her adventures with the scarred, hard-riding Jonah Hex himself, alongside Jeremiah D. Hart and the intriguingly named Eldhår. With five catalog appearances centered in that iconic series, she's a character whose presence is compact but worth seeking out for any dedicated Jonah Hex collector hunting every corner of the title's rich history.
