Princess of Wallachia

Emerging from the dark, historically-charged world of Image Comics' 1996 miniseries Spawn the Impaler, the Princess of Wallachia is a figure of brooding intrigue, conjured by the formidable creative pairing of Mike Grell and Rob Prior. She inhabits a shadowy medieval tapestry alongside a vivid cast that includes Spawn the Impaler himself and characters like Abbie Carfax and Kazakla Bey, suggesting a story rich with conflict and consequence. Her appearances are few and precious — making every panel she graces a collector's treasure — and for fans of the darker, more historically atmospheric corners of the Modern Age, she's a compelling reason to seek out this underappreciated Image gem.
