Street Angel #1 - The Princess of Poverty
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the earliest adventures of Jesse Sanchez, a homeless skateboarding girl who fights crime and supernatural threats as the Street Angel. Originally published by Slave Labor Graphics, these stories blend irreverent humor, martial arts action, and a gritty urban setting, establishing the character's unique underdog heroics.
In "3 Wishes," Street Angel stumbles upon a tiny skeleton in the ruins of her old home, sparking a whimsical misadventure when Bald Eagle insists it’s a leprechaun and that reviving it could grant three wishes. Their hopeful journey to the hospital quickly unravels when medical staff gently correct them—what they found was just a baby’s skeleton.
In "Paradox Lost," a future version of Street Angel arrives to stop her younger self from turning evil, forcing a tense confrontation with the present-day hero and the rogue robot El Destructo. As the past and future Street Angel clash, the line between right and wrong blurs—especially when one version’s fate seems to defy time itself.
In "Shop Fu!", Street Angel stages a wild rescue at a convenience store overrun by ninjas, only to demand a reward of booze—much to the shopkeeper’s dismay. When she casually suggests Mostess Cupcakes instead, his panic over the last package leads to an unexpected trade, leaving her passed out in an alley with her drink while he enjoys the sweets.
