Maeve Malloy
A product of comics' Golden Age, Maeve Malloy made her debut in Avon's Strange Worlds #5 in 1951, brought to life by the legendary Wally Wood at the height of his powers — reason enough alone to seek her out. She shares her adventures with Captain Dave Kenton of the Star Patrol, placing her squarely in the pulpy, rocket-fueled science fiction milieu that made Avon's titles such a treat for mid-century readers. Her appearances span a remarkable arc from 1951 all the way to 1991, turning up across Strange Worlds, The Rocket's Blast-Comicollector, and Thrilling Wonder Tales — a quiet testament to a character with real staying power. For collectors with a taste for Golden Age SF and the unmistakable linework of Wally Wood, Maeve Malloy is a genuinely rewarding find.
