Alley-Kat-Abra

Straight out of the Bronze Age's most delightfully offbeat corner of the DC Universe, Alley-Kat-Abra made her debut in Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew! #1 in 1982, conjured up by the creative trio of Roy Thomas, Scott Shaw!, and Ross Andru. She's a fixture of that beloved funny-animal universe, sharing adventures with the likes of Captain Carrot, Rubberduck, and even the occasional Green Lantern, which tells you everything about how charmingly the series blended superhero spectacle with anthropomorphic whimsy. Her presence in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe confirms she earned her place in DC's official canon — no small feat for a character from one of the publisher's most wonderfully eccentric experiments. For collectors with a soft spot for the Bronze Age's more playful side, she's a genuine gem worth tracking down.
