Item Description

AMETHYST, The PRINCESS OF GEMWORLD, is a powerful magic-user and sword-wielding heroine. She was born to the royal family of GEMWORLD in the House of Amethyst, although her parents were killed by the evil DARK OPAL. To save her life, the witch CITRINA sent her to Earth where she'd be raised unaware by Herb and Marion Winston.

The newly-named AMY WINSTON learned of her powers at the age of 13 when she returned to GEMWORLD, and gained the appearance of a fully grown woman. In this form, her mission is to banish evil from her homeland and free them from oppression using her new abilities. After CITRINA's death, she gained the witch's powers as well, and became a LORD OF ORDER.

This is the first issue in a 12-part maxi-series, and follows AMETHYST's introduction in LEGION OF SUPERHEROES #298 three years earlier. AMY WINSTON/AMETHYST would continue to have 16 more adventures in DC comics, all the way up until 2021.

AMETHYST's adventures throughout the maxi-series are wonderfully illustrated by Ernie Colón in a fantasy-inspired clean style. The series was created by Dave Manak, with the mini-seriers authored by Dan Mishkin and Gary Cohn.

This copy of AMETHYST #1 is in near-mint condition, 42 years after its publication. The Overstreet Price Guide states a value of $8 for this issue in 8.0 VF condition . . . but we're going to brandish our Wand of Order and declare a price of just $5!

And we think you'll find our L•O•W shipping cost to be GEM-uinely FANTASY-tastic!!
