Martha Roberts

Few Golden Age heroines can claim a debut stretching back to 1941, but Martha Roberts made her entrance in Feature Comics #50, brought to life by the creative team of Toni Blum and Al Bryant for Quality Comics. She's a figure woven into the fabric of the Golden Age, sharing pages with the likes of Darrel Dane, Doll Man, and Doll Girl across titles like Feature Comics and Doll Man. Her appearances may be select — making each one a genuine find for the dedicated collector, including at least one key issue worth hunting down — and the quirky company she keeps across her catalog, from Quality's superhero corners to the pages of Jughead with Archie Digest, gives her an endearingly eclectic footprint spanning an remarkable seven decades of comics history. For fans who love tracing the roots of the Golden Age and the pioneering women who helped shape it, Martha Roberts is a name well worth knowing.
