Queen Tanit

Queen Tanit is a regal figure of the sword-and-sorcery world shared with Crom the Barbarian, debuting in Avon's Strange Worlds #1 in 1950. She embodies the pulpy Golden Age blend of exotic adventure and royal mystique across Avon's fantasy anthology titles.

From the sun-baked pages of Avon's Strange Worlds #1 in 1950, Queen Tanit arrived during the Golden Age with all the regal mystique her name promises — brought to life by the legendary Gardner Fox and artist John Giunta at the height of comics' most adventurous era. She shares her world with the mighty Crom the Barbarian, and her appearances across Strange Worlds, Eerie, and the evocatively titled Barbarians and Beauties paint a vivid picture of sword-and-sorcery glamour at its pulpy finest. With a publishing footprint that stretches an remarkable seventy years, this Avon queen may be rare — just six catalog appearances — but that scarcity only deepens her mystique for the dedicated Golden Age hunter lucky enough to track her down.
