Joan Fortune

Stepping onto the page in the very first issue of Sensation Comics in 1942, Joan Fortune is a true child of the Golden Age, born in one of DC's most storied debut issues — a collector's landmark that also introduced some of the era's most iconic heroes. Over a publishing life that stretched across nearly five decades, she kept remarkable company, sharing adventures with the likes of Wildcat, Mr. Terrific, and Diana Prince. With appearances in both Sensation Comics and Young All-Stars, and two key-issue appearances to her name, Joan Fortune is a fascinating thread in the rich tapestry of DC's Golden Age — the kind of discovery that reminds you just how deep and rewarding the back-issue bins can be.
