Mara
Few characters can claim a Silver Age birth and still be turning up in comics four decades later, but Mara — introduced by Bill Black in Paragon Presents #2 in 1970 — is exactly that kind of enduring presence. Published by AC Comics, she's woven into the fabric of titles like FemForce, Good Girl Art Quarterly, and Captain Paragon, sharing pages with a remarkable roster including She-Cat, Ms. Victory, Nightveil, and Joan Wayne. With 101 catalog appearances and four collector-recognized key issues to her name, Mara is the sort of character that rewards the dedicated hunter — a testament to AC's distinctive corner of comics history and the passionate readership that kept her alive from the Nixon era well into the 2010s. If you love deep-cut Silver Age survivors with real longevity, she absolutely belongs on your radar.
