Tora no Shi

Emerging from the bold, boundary-pushing world of Image Comics in 1997, Tora no Shi made their debut in the pages of Witchblade #18 — a series that defined the Copper/Modern Age with its dark mythology and visceral storytelling, courtesy of creators Christina Z., David Wohl, and Michael Turner. Sharing the page with iconic figures like Sara Pezzini, Jackie Estacado, and the enigmatic Lord Sonatine, this character moves in seriously dangerous company. Though Tora no Shi's catalog footprint is rare and concentrated, that scarcity only adds intrigue — a figure who surfaces across nearly three decades of Witchblade history is one worth hunting down.
