Penny Dreadful

A creature of the Bronze Age DC universe, Penny Dreadful burst onto the scene in 1985's Infinity, Inc. #18 — a debut that bears the fingerprints of Roy Thomas, Dann Thomas, and a very young Todd McFarlane, making it a genuine collector's curiosity. Her brief but memorable run puts her in rarefied company, sharing pages with icons like Green Lantern, Hawkman, Wonder Woman, and Bruce Wayne himself. The fact that she earned an entry in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe confirms DC considered her worth cataloguing for posterity, even if her appearances are rare enough to make each one a find. For fans who love unearthing the hidden corners of the Bronze Age, Penny Dreadful is exactly the kind of intriguing footnote that makes deep-dive collecting so rewarding.
