Clara Clayton Brown

Debuting in Hawk and Dove #19 in 1990, Clara Clayton Brown is a fascinating Copper Age curio from DC's expansive universe — a character whose small but notable footprint spans titles as prestigious as Action Comics and Adventures of Superman. With only four cataloged appearances, she's a rare find, and the fact that one of them carries key-issue status makes tracking her down a rewarding hunt for completists. She keeps remarkable company on the page — sharing issues with the likes of Superman, Jimmy Olsen, and Perry White — and her debut, crafted by the creative team of Barbara Kesel, Karl Kesel, and Greg Guler, gives her solid comics pedigree from the start.
