Witchblade

A dark fantasy series originally published by Éditions USA from 1997 to 2001, Witchblade spans 15 issues, introducing readers to a world where an ancient, sentient artifact—the Witchblade—bonds with a chosen wielder, granting immense power at a steep personal cost. The series is most closely associated with writer David Wohl and artists such as Michael Turner, whose dynamic, cinematic style defined the look of the lead character and her supernatural battles. It matters as a key entry in the 1990s "bad girl" comics trend, blending gritty urban horror with a strong, conflicted female protagonist.
