Persephone

Emerging from the bold, boundary-pushing energy of early Image Comics in 1993, Persephone made her debut in the pages of Wetworks, the gritty supernatural military series co-created by Whilce Portacio and Brandon Choi. She moves through a world populated by compelling figures like Jackson Dane, Mother-One, and Pilgrim — a roster that signals just how rich the Wildstorm corner of Image was in those formative Copper/Modern Age years. With two of her handful of appearances recognized as key issues by collectors, Persephone punches well above her page count, and her presence across Wildstorm Swimsuit Special and Shattered Image speaks to the interconnected, ambitious universe Image was building at the time. A rare find for fans who love digging into the wilder, weirder edges of '90s comics history.
