Sister Susan Hope

Emerging from the pages of Judge Dredd the Megazine in 1992, Sister Susan Hope is a Fleetway Publications character born into the rich, darkly imaginative world that British comics do so well. Debuting in issue #2 alongside a remarkable roster that includes Judge Dredd himself, the flamboyant Devlin Waugh, and the legendary Johnny Alpha, she keeps genuinely distinguished company for a character of her vintage. Created by John Wagner and Yan Shimony, her eight catalogued appearances are concentrated in the Megazine, that beloved sister publication that gave so many compelling characters room to breathe beyond the main weekly. She's a rewarding find for any collector digging into the early-nineties golden era of British comics — a character with a great name and a fascinating circle of peers worth exploring.
