Licorice Dust

Licorice Dust materialized in the pages of Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose #23 in 2003, a creation of Jim Balent for his independent Broadsword Comics imprint — a corner of the Modern Age where magic, mysticism, and bold visual storytelling flourish well outside the mainstream. Sharing the page with fan-favorite figures like Tarot, Boo Cat, Raven Hex, and Pooka, this character moves through one of indie comics' most distinctive and enduring supernatural series, one that kept publishing across an impressive seventeen-year stretch. With only a handful of catalogued appearances, Licorice Dust is a rare and intriguing presence — the kind of elusive character that dedicated collectors of Broadsword's witchy universe will want to seek out and savor.
