Jezebelle #1

History

Jezebelle the WildStorm character was introduced during Wildstorm's 2000 'Devil's Night' crossover event before earning her own mini-series the following year. Writer Ben Raab — then actively working across both DC and WildStorm titles including Gen 13, Excalibur, and Beast Boy — scripted all six issues under the story title 'A Small Corner of Hell,' with Steve Ellis handling the pencils throughout. John Layman, who would later become widely known as creator of Chew at Image, served as editor on the series during his tenure as a WildStorm staff editor. The book was published under the WildStorm imprint as a direct-market-only title and shipped between approximately March and August 2001.
