Dawn Poster # 4 by J Michael Linsner White Cry For

Dawn's publication history is somewhat unique as opposed to that of other comic book characters. Using the same technique later used in such series as Grimm Fairy Tales, the character was initially nothing more than pin-up inspired cover art which bore little relation to the interior content of her featured series (Cry for Dawn). The drawing themselves were drawn by Joseph Michael Linsner. She was originally drawn with her hair always covering one eye (paying homage to a certain degree to Veronica Lake.) She was also often portrayed with blood red tears (often in streaks across her face.) The character continued with the presentation for some time but was eventually incorporated into comics as a narrator of semi-horror related stories.

Near mint condition.
