Catherine Mitchell

Debuting in 1999's Housewives at Play #1 from Fantagraphics, Catherine Mitchell is a Modern Age creation of Rebecca, born into one of the underground press's most playfully irreverent adult anthology series. Over a twelve-year run she turns up across Housewives at Play, the Eros Graphic Albums line, and the oversized King Sized Special, keeping lively company with the likes of Patty Johnson, Beth Stevens, and Melissa Mitchell. With a dozen catalog appearances spread across that span, she's a recurring fixture in a corner of alternative comics that wore its grown-up sensibilities with a wink and a smile — the kind of character that rewards fans who dig into Fantagraphics' wonderfully eclectic back catalogue.
