Jean Starr

Born into the Golden Age alongside some of Pines Comics' most memorable heroes, Jean Starr made her debut in Exciting Comics #3 in 1941, brought to life by Richard Hughes and David Gabrielsen. She's a character whose story has quietly endured — with appearances catalogued across nearly eight decades, from 1941 all the way to 2019 — sharing pages with the likes of The Black Terror and Bob Benton in the pulpy, action-packed world that made Exciting Comics a standout of its era. With nine recorded appearances including one key collector issue, Jean Starr is a genuine Golden Age gem, the kind of figure that rewards the dedicated reader willing to dig into the rich, adventurous soil where American superhero comics first took root.
