Reine Zénobia

Reine Zénobia made her entrance in the pages of Conan Le Barbare #15 in 1991, a product of the Copper Age brought to life through the work of Michael Higgins and Ron Lim for Semic S.A. — the French publisher that kept sword-and-sorcery adventures alive for a devoted continental readership. Her five catalogued appearances stretch across an impressive span of nearly three decades, placing her in storied company alongside Conan himself, Prince Conn, Rufio, and the legendary Red Sonja. She's a niche discovery for the dedicated collector, the kind of character whose rarity in the catalog only adds to her intrigue — a queen of the margins in one of fantasy comics' most beloved mythologies.
