Rita Librado

Rita Librado stepped onto the DC stage in 1988, debuting in the pages of Action Comics Weekly — that bold anthology experiment where some of comics' most eclectic storytelling of the Copper Age unfolded week by week. Created by Martin Pasko and Dan Spiegle, she shares her corner of the DC universe with the likes of Green Lantern, Arisia, and Catwoman, keeping genuinely distinguished company for a character with a modest footprint in the catalog. With only four recorded appearances, Rita is one of those intriguing figures who rewards the dedicated back-issue hunter — a quiet piece of a fascinating, often-overlooked chapter in DC history.
