Shatane was the creation of the prolific Italian artist Leone Frollo (b. 1931). She was apparently a member of the Romanov family who escaped being massacred by the Bolsheviks and, having been taught magic by Rasputin, explores the inter-war world. Among people she meets are Adolf Hitler, Dracula, and Rudolf Valentino. Some people have such interesting lives!
That… that is quite the background. ^^; Slap some spandex on her and she could be a superheroine.
