Crypt Chick

Rising from the pages of Broadsword Comics' cult Modern Age sensation Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose, Crypt Chick made her debut in issue #7 back in 2001, the creation of Jim Balent. She haunts the same shadowy corners of that series as fan-favorites like Tarot, Raven Hex, and Skeleton Man, lending her eerie presence to one of indie comics' most distinctive and unapologetically stylized titles. With nine catalog appearances across a decade-long run, she's a niche gem for devoted collectors of Broadsword's darkly fantastical universe — the kind of character who rewards readers who dig deep into the margins of a beloved series.
