Liberty

Bursting onto the scene in 1991's Justice League Quarterly #3, Liberty is a Copper Age creation from the sharp collaborative minds of Gerard Jones, Keith Giffen, and Mike McKone — a trio who knew how to populate the DC Universe with characters that crackle with personality. Her handful of appearances put her in genuinely rarefied company: she shares pages with heavyweights like Guy Gardner, Green Lantern, The Flash, and General Glory, turning up across Justice League America and Justice League Europe at a moment when those titles were the beating heart of DC's ensemble storytelling. Six catalog appearances make her a rare find, the kind of deep-cut character that rewards the dedicated reader who loves discovering the overlooked corners of the JL extended world. If you're hunting the full texture of early-'90s DC, Liberty is exactly the sort of gem worth tracking down.
