History: Felina is the illegitimate daughter of a French nun and a Spanish anarchist, both dead. Raised as a panther-trainer and trapeze artist in a circus, she married American millionaire Wilbur Kholderup. But Kholderup was killed by the criminal sect of the Kriss, and Felina then became a black-cloaked heroine, using her circus skills, to avenge her husband. She is ably assisted by Lobjak, a Tibetan wizard, and Colonel Pembroke, two of her husband's friends. Her arch-enemy is Touan Naga, the mysterious leader of the Kriss.

Comments: Created by Victor Mora (writer) and Annie Goetzinger (artist).

Felina was published in the magazine "Circus" in 1979, then in "Pilote" in 1982. The first two stories were initially published as graphic novels by Glénat. Dargaud then reprinted them, and published the third and last graphic novel.

1. Félina (Glé., 1979)

2. Les Mystères de Barcelone (The Mysteries of Barcelona) (Dar., 1982)

3. L'Ogre du Djébel (The Djebel Ogre) (Dar., 1986)

Although published in France, the writer of Felina, Victor Mora, is Spanish, hence the character being listed in the Spanish section of this site.
