Who is Etta Candy?

A plucky Holliday College sorority girl with boundless courage and an irrepressible personality, Etta Candy became one of Wonder Woman's first and closest allies in the World of Men, rallying her Beeta Lambda sisters whenever Diana needed backup — no superpowers required.

Etta Candy burst onto the Golden Age scene in 1942's Sensation Comics #2, and she's been a beloved fixture of DC's universe ever since — a rare supporting player whose charm and personality have kept her relevant across an extraordinary eight-plus decades of publication. Closely woven into the world of Wonder Woman and Sensation Comics, she keeps remarkable company, sharing adventures with the likes of Princess Diana, Steve Trevor, and even heavyweights like Green Lantern and The Flash. With four key-issue appearances to her name and 90 catalog entries stretching all the way to 2026, Etta is far more than a sidekick — she's a Golden Age original whose staying power speaks for itself. If you're exploring the rich history of DC's Amazonian corner of the universe, Etta Candy is absolutely worth your time.
