Penelope Moon

Emerging from the fertile creative chaos of Britain's legendary anthology 2000 AD in 1988, Penelope Moon is a Copper Age original brought to life by the bold pairing of Pat Mills and S.M.S. — a character who found her home in one of comics' most celebrated and irreverent publishing houses, Fleetway Publications. Her twenty catalogued appearances span a focused run through the early nineties, and the fact that one of those issues carries key-issue status speaks to her significance within that world. She keeps remarkable company across those pages — sharing adventures with icons like Judge Dredd and Zenith, alongside David Cambridge, Ruby Fox, and Peter St John — which tells you everything about the electrifying creative neighbourhood she inhabits. For collectors with a taste for the distinctly British edge of the Copper Age, Penelope Moon is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through 2000 AD back issues so rewarding.
