Coven – Awesome – 1997–1998 – Volume 1 – #1–6

📘 Series Summary

Launching the supernatural corner of the Awesome Entertainment universe, Coven debuted in 1997 as a high-octane blend of magic and modern warfare. Written by the legendary Jeph Loeb and primarily illustrated by Ian Churchill, the series follows a group of diverse, magically-empowered individuals navigating a world that fears their abilities. With Rob Liefeld providing character designs and various covers, the series became a hallmark of the late 90s independent scene.

This original volume is famous for its "flip-book" format in later issues, providing fans with early looks at other Awesome properties like Re-Gex and KaBoom. The series is a collector's dream—or challenge—due to the massive array of retail exclusives, signed editions, and foil-stamped variants that were a signature of the Awesome/Dynamic Forces partnership during this era.

  • Signed Keys: Look for issues autographed by Jeph Loeb or Ian Churchill, complete with Wizard or Dynamic Forces COAs.
  • American Entertainment Exclusives: Features unique variants specifically produced for one of the era's biggest retailers.
  • Flip-Book Previews: Issues #3–6 contain exclusive Re-Gex preview material featuring Liefeld artwork.
