Who is Joan Wayne?

Born in the Golden Age heat of 1944, Joan Wayne made her debut in Grit Grady Comics #1 courtesy of creator Charles M. Quinlan — and what a long road she's traveled since, with 113 catalog appearances stretching all the way to 2012. She's deeply woven into the fabric of AC Comics' heroic universe, turning up most prominently in FemForce, Captain Paragon and the Sentinels of Justice, and Paragon, sharing pages with a remarkable roster that includes Ms. Victory, Nightveil, She-Cat, and Stardust. With six key-issue appearances to her name and nearly seven decades of publishing history, Joan Wayne is a testament to the enduring pull of Golden Age heroism — a character well worth tracking down for any serious AC collector.
