Carol Ferris

Carol Ferris is a driven aerospace executive who inherited control of Ferris Aircraft and became the boss—and eventual love interest—of test pilot Hal Jordan. Her exceptional willpower and capacity for love drew the alien Zamarons to choose her as their champion, Star Sapphire.

Few characters in DC history can claim they were there at the very beginning of the Silver Age's most celebrated space epic — Carol Ferris debuted in Showcase #22 in 1959, the same landmark issue that launched an era, brought to life by the legendary team of John Broome and Gil Kane. Over an extraordinary 67 years of publication, she has grown from a fixture of Green Lantern into one of DC's most enduring figures, racking up 117 catalog appearances and four collector-significant key issues along the way. She keeps remarkable company — sharing pages with Hal Jordan, The Flash, Superman, and Batman — and her presence across titles like Action Comics Weekly and Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe speaks to a character the DC Universe has never been willing to leave behind. If you're tracing the spine of the Silver Age Green Lantern mythology, Carol Ferris is essential reading.
