Queen Elizabeth II

A genuine historical figure who found her way into the colorful world of American comics, this depiction of Queen Elizabeth II made a surprising debut in Jesse James #25 in 1955, courtesy of creator Howard Larsen at American Comics Group. Over a remarkable span stretching across 65 years, Her Majesty has popped up across a wonderfully eclectic range of titles — from the beloved cult classic Herbie to Batman: The Brave and the Bold and DC Super Hero Girls Giant — sharing pages with the likes of Batman, Bruce Wayne, Green Lantern, Robin, and even Charles de Gaulle. It's a small but fascinatingly varied footprint in comics history, a testament to how the Queen's iconic presence transcended media and decades, turning up wherever the stories were grand enough to call for a little royal dignity.
