Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld is the name of three comic book series published by DC Comics in the 1980s. They followed the adventures of a young girl named Amy Winston who discovers on her 13th birthday that she is in fact the princess from a magical world. Amy also learns that the parents that she has known are not her real parents; that her real parents are dead, and a dark figure from Gemworld is out to destroy her. Now Amy must travel to Gemworld, becoming older through the voyage (since time moves differently in Gemworld, Amy ages into a woman in her early twenties while there), and fight the evil that is attacking her.
Amethyst first appeared in a teaser story in Legion of Super-Heroes (vol. 2) #298 (April 1983). Her origin began shortly afterward in the twelve-issue Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld limited series in 1983, written and created by Dan Mishkin and Gary Cohn with Ernie Colon as the artist, the initial 12-issue limited series (identified by DC Comics as a “maxi-series”) establishes Gemworld, who Amethyst is and introduces several of her villains that she will face again later. The limited series was followed by a 1984 annual issue and a sixteen-issue ongoing series. The ongoing series was followed by the 1986 Amethyst Special one-shot and a four-issue limited series that ended the character’s adventures. The series was oriented initially for younger female readers, but took on a more aggressive and darker tone over time.
