Green Flame

Bursting onto the scene in 1988 from the creative trio of Keith Giffen, J. M. DeMatteis, and Kevin Maguire — the legendary team behind DC's beloved comedic-yet-heartfelt Justice League era — Green Flame made her debut in Justice League International #12, a collector-recognized key issue right out of the gate. She shares her pages with some of the Copper Age's most beloved characters: Green Lantern, Blue Beetle, Ted Kord, Oberon, and Beatriz da Costa, placing her squarely in one of DC's most fondly remembered corners of continuity. Her appearances span Justice League International, Justice League Annual, and Secret Origins, suggesting a character with enough personality to earn spotlight treatment across multiple formats. If you love the warm, witty, deeply human texture of late-'80s DC storytelling, Green Flame is a delightful discovery waiting in those back-issue bins.
