Marissa Dillon

Few characters can claim roots stretching all the way back to the very first issue of Flash Comics in 1940, but Marissa Dillon is one of them — a genuine Golden Age original brought to life by John B. Wentworth and Stan Asch in the same landmark debut that launched some of DC's most beloved heroes. Her presence in that historic first issue alone makes her collector-significant, and with two key issues to her name across a catalog that spans a remarkable 47 years, she's a figure whose legacy quietly endures. She keeps extraordinary company — sharing pages with the likes of The Flash, Johnny Thunder, The Thunderbolt, The Whip, and Sam Dillon — placing her squarely in the vibrant, adventurous heart of DC's Golden Age universe. For fans who love unearthing the deeper roots of DC history, Marissa Dillon is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through the back issues so rewarding.
