Battle Girl

Battle Girl burst onto the Image Comics scene in 2007's Savage Dragon #132, a Modern Age debut that planted her firmly in one of indie comics' most celebrated and long-running universes. Over nearly two decades she's built an impressive 112-appearance catalog — including three collector-recognized key issues — sharing pages with Dragon himself and a rich cast that includes Maxine Jung Dragon, Tyrone Dragon, Kurr, and Jon Day. Her footprint stretches across Savage Dragon, Dynamo 5, and Dynamo 5: Sins of the Father, marking her as a character who genuinely transcends a single title. If you're exploring the sprawling, interconnected world Erik Larsen built at Image, Battle Girl is absolutely worth tracking down.
