Grace Merrick

A Silver Age creation from 1968, Grace Merrick made her debut in the pages of IPC's Lion — a beloved British anthology comic that served as home to some wonderfully inventive characters of the era. Brought to life by the legendary Jerry Siegel (yes, that Jerry Siegel) alongside artist Carlos Pino, she's a genuinely intriguing footnote in comics history, sharing her pages with the likes of Robot Archie, Gadgetman, and the gloriously named Gimmick-Kid. With only a handful of recorded appearances, Grace Merrick is the kind of rare Silver Age discovery that makes digging through old British weeklies so rewarding.
