Satori Valentine

Satori Valentine made her entrance in 1995 courtesy of creator Chynna Clugston, debuting in Blood Letting #1 from FantaCo Enterprises — a small-press publisher with a taste for the darkly unconventional. A product of the mid-nineties underground, she inhabits a moody corner of the Copper/Modern Age alongside a memorably named cast that includes Cosette Cautier, Maxamillian, and Lawrence, the kind of company that signals this is no ordinary superhero fare. Her appearances stretch across Blood Letting and the evocatively titled Dead Chicks in Lace, giving her a footprint that's compact but atmospheric. With only a handful of issues to her name, Satori Valentine is exactly the sort of cult discovery that reminds collectors why digging through the independent racks is always worth it.
