Tiana Mathews

Tiana Mathews made her entrance in the pages of Black Diamond #1 back in 1983, a product of the Bronze Age indie comics scene published by AC — a scrappy, passionate corner of the medium that deserves far more attention than it gets. Created by Bill Black, she's woven into a rich tapestry of AC characters, sharing adventures with the likes of Black Diamond, Captain Paragon, and Vanessa Cord across titles including Americomics and Colt Special. Her catalog footprint may be compact at ten appearances, but two of those are collector-recognized key issues — a meaningful distinction that signals she's no background player. For fans digging into the overlooked gems of Bronze Age independent publishing, Tiana Mathews is exactly the kind of discovery that makes the hunt worthwhile.
