Comics

The Sláine series in the British comic 2000 AD included two runs, entitled "Demon Killer" and "Queen of Witches" (1993-1994), written by Pat Mills and illustrated by Glenn Fabry and Dermot Power, which featured a free interpretation of Boudica's story.

The 1990's comic book series Witchblade saw Boudicca as one of the original wielders of the Witchblade.

In the 1990s, DC Comics' Green Lantern Corps included a member named Boodikka, portrayed as a fierce female warrior.

In Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell's graphic novel From Hell, William Gull considers Boudica's defeat as the final defeat of female power by patriarchy.
