Kara Starikov

Born into the stylish, alternate-history world of DC's Bombshells line, Kara Starikov made her debut in 2015 under the creative vision of Marguerite Bennett and Marguerite Sauvage — a Modern Age character steeped in the retro-wartime aesthetic that made that series such a beloved reimagining of the DC universe. She carves out her place across DC Comics: Bombshells and Bombshells: United, sharing those richly illustrated pages with icons like Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Princess Diana, and Kortni Duginovna. It's a remarkable constellation of characters to keep company with, and Kara's consistent presence across nearly three decades' worth of collected storytelling speaks to how fully she belongs in that world. For fans of the Bombshells line's bold, boundary-pushing reinventions, she's a character well worth seeking out.
