Martha Washington

Few characters in the Dark Horse stable carry the quiet weight of Martha Washington, who made her debut in Predator: Big Game #1 in 1991 — right at the cusp of comics' Modern Age — and went on to anchor her own dedicated series in Martha Washington Goes to War. Over a remarkable thirty-year publishing span, she built a presence across prestigious anthology showcases like Dark Horse Presents and San Diego Comic Con Comics, the kind of stages reserved for characters with genuine staying power. Her world is a rich one, sharing pages with icons like Hellboy, Concrete, and Madman, placing her firmly in the heart of Dark Horse's beloved creator-driven universe. With a key issue to her name and a legacy stretching from 1991 all the way to 2021, Martha Washington is exactly the sort of deep-catalog discovery that reminds you why Dark Horse was never afraid to do things differently.
