Regina Anastasi

Regina Anastasi is a figure from the rich, noir-drenched world of Matt Wagner's Grendel, stepping onto the page in 1987 during the Copper Age when Comico was pushing the boundaries of what creator-driven comics could be. Brought to life by Wagner and the Pander Bros., she inhabits a universe populated by some of the series' most compelling presences — Christine Spar, the enigmatic Tujiro XIV, and the silver wolf Argent among them. Her appearances are few, but in Grendel's tightly woven storytelling, every character carries weight, and sharing pages with that cast puts her squarely at the heart of one of the era's most artistically ambitious series. For collectors and fans who love the moody, operatic side of Copper Age indie comics, tracking down her handful of appearances is a rewarding piece of the Grendel puzzle.
