Rachel 'Mambo' Verlaine

Born in the pages of the legendary British anthology 2000 AD in 1994, Rachel 'Mambo' Verlaine is a sharp product of Fleetway's fertile Copper/Modern Age imagination, brought to life by artist Cliff Robinson. She carved out her corner of that iconic weekly alongside some of the most celebrated figures in British comics — Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper Friday, and Sláine among them — which speaks volumes about the calibre of storytelling she was part of. Her run was compact but concentrated, appearing across 1994–1996 in one of the most creatively charged comics on the British scene. For collectors with a taste for 2000 AD's rich roster beyond the headline names, Rachel 'Mambo' Verlaine is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through those classic prog issues so rewarding.
