The Sphinx

Emerging from Image Comics in 1998, The Sphinx made their debut in Jay Anacleto's Aria Preview #1, stepping into the lush, fantastical world that would unfold across Aria and The Magic of Aria. A Modern Age creation woven into a richly imagined mythology, this enigmatic figure shares the page with a compelling cast — Gwynnion, Childe Roland, The Dark One, and others — suggesting a world of deep lore and high stakes. Rare in the catalog with only three recorded appearances, The Sphinx carries that particular mystique of a character who lingers at the edges of a beloved series, making every appearance count.
