Creation and inspiration
Penciler Joe Quesada and inker Jimmy Palmiotti, after working well together on various projects such as Valiant Comics' X-O Manowar and following the creation of their first joint-project in Kid Death and Fluffy for a Creator's Universe card series, sought to create their own studio with their own original characters. Valiant Comics was an American Comic book Publishing company founded by former Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Jim Shooter, writer/artists X-O Manowar ( Aric Dacia) is a fictional Valiant Comics Superhero created by writer and former Marvel Comics editor-in-chief
Quesada and Palmiotti spent two weeks in the Florida Keys developing the idea of what would become Ash. One key aspect in the design of the character was the close resemblance to the suits worn by firefighters of the New York Fire Department. The key element in Ashley Quinn being portrayed as a firefighter was to have a character who was both a super-hero in is civilian life as well as in secret.
