Who is Linda Lee Danvers?

Few secret identities in the Silver Age carry as much weight as Linda Lee Danvers, who stepped onto the page in Action Comics #279 in 1961, brought to life by the legendary Jerry Siegel and artist Jim Mooney. A creation of DC's most imaginative era, she has endured across an remarkable 64 years of publishing history, turning up in the pages of Action Comics, Superman, and even earning a place in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe — the kind of canonical recognition reserved for characters who truly matter. She shares her stories with some of the most iconic names in comics — Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Clark Kent, and Supergirl herself — which tells you everything about the rarefied company she keeps. With four key collector issues to her name and a presence stretching well into the 2020s, Linda Lee Danvers is a Silver Age original whose place in DC history is as genuine as it gets.
