Who is Libby Lawrence?

Elizabeth 'Libby' Lawrence gained remarkable speed, strength, and stamina through a mystical connection to the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, becoming the patriotic heroine Liberty Belle. She went on to serve alongside wartime super-teams including the Justice Society of America and the All-Star Squadron.

Libby Lawrence is a Golden Age gem who made her debut in the pages of Boy Commandos #1 in 1942, brought to life by the legendary Jack Kirby himself β€” a pedigree that alone makes her worth seeking out. A DC stalwart spanning an extraordinary stretch from the wartime forties all the way to 2021, she's the kind of character whose longevity speaks to a genuine staying power in the publisher's mythology. Her adventures unfold alongside some of the most celebrated figures in DC's Golden Age pantheon β€” Hawkman, Alan Scott, Robotman, and Johnny Quick among them β€” and her strongest presence runs through All-Star Squadron and Star Spangled Comics, two titles at the very heart of DC's classic era. With three key-issue appearances to her name and an entry in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe, Libby Lawrence is exactly the kind of richly historical character that rewards the collector who loves digging into the deep, heroic roots of the DC Universe.
