The Four Kunoichi: Bloodlust

In 1996, Lightning Comics launched The Four Kunoichi: Bloodlust, a single-issue debut from writer/artist John Cleary. The series introduces a team of female ninja warriors, blending martial arts action with the gritty, independent-comics sensibility of the 1990s. While short-lived, it stands as a snapshot of the era’s fascination with dark, warrior-woman teams and the creator-owned energy of the Lightning Comics line.
