Warrior Nun Areala (Vol. 1)

    (Antarctic, 1994-1995)
™ and ©1995 Ben Dunn

As a rule, nuns usually oppose evil and the works of the devil through prayer and acts of chastity, charity, and faith. The Warrior Nuns of the Order of Areala take a more hands-on approach. Their habits are decidedly more revealing, allowing the freedom of movement to better oppose the various demons that seek to overtake society. The mystical nature of this series sets it apart from Evangeline from Comico in the 1980s, which also featured a non-traditional nun set in a space-faring future. This title is a curious mix between Bad Girl art, so prevalent in the 1990s, and the Japanese manga style with its extreme close-ups and prominent, sometimes obtrusive, sound effects and word balloons.

The story and art is by Ben Dunn, whose earlier effort, Ninja High School, introduced a Warrior Nun prototype.
