Joanne

Stepping onto the DC stage in 1985 courtesy of Mike W. Barr and David Ross, Joanne made her debut in the pages of Batman and the Outsiders Annual #2 — a Bronze Age introduction that planted her firmly in one of DC's most adventurous corners. Her catalog footprint is modest but spans a remarkable stretch, with appearances reaching all the way into 2012 and including the sweeping retrospective DC Universe: Legacies, a series that celebrates the grand tapestry of DC history. Along the way she's shared pages with titans like Batman, Green Lantern, Supergirl, The Flash, and The Spectre — rarefied company that speaks to the rich, interconnected world she inhabits. For collectors who love unearthing the quieter threads woven through DC's Bronze Age fabric, Joanne is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through back issues so rewarding.
