Gretchen Kelley

Gretchen Kelley stepped onto the DC stage in 1987, born from the pen of John Byrne during his landmark reimagining of the Man of Steel in the Copper Age. With only eight catalog appearances spread across Action Comics and Superman, she's a supporting-cast gem of that era — the kind of character who gives the world of Metropolis its texture and depth. She shares her pages with some of the heaviest hitters in DC history — Superman himself, Clark Kent, Lex Luthor, and even Bruce Wayne — which speaks to the high-stakes storytelling she was woven into. A quiet discovery for fans who love digging into the rich human fabric behind the capes.
