About Clementine
Clementine made their debut in Shirtless Bear-Fighter! #3 (2017), the wildly irreverent Image Comics limited series that blended absurdist humor with over-the-top action. Published by Image and crafted with a gleefully unhinged sensibility, the series built a cult following among readers who appreciated its tongue-in-cheek approach to superhero tropes, and Clementine stands as one of the memorable supporting players introduced as the story escalated in its latter issues.
Shirtless Bear-Fighter! leaned heavily into comedic chaos, and characters like Clementine existed within that anarchic sandbox — contributing to the unpredictable ensemble that made the book such a standout oddity on comic shop shelves. The series as a whole was praised for its bold, expressive artwork and its willingness to go places mainstream superhero comics simply would not, making every issue a conversation piece among readers hungry for something genuinely different.
For collectors, Shirtless Bear-Fighter! #3 represents a key mid-series issue in one of Image Comics' most talked-about cult releases of the late 2010s. First appearances within limited series of this nature tend to be overlooked at the time of publication, only to gain traction as the book's reputation grows. With the Shirtless Bear-Fighter! property continuing to attract new fans discovering it in back issue bins and digital storefronts, locking down a sharp copy of issue #3 is a smart move for collectors who enjoy holding undervalued gems from Image's deep catalog.
