Valkyrie

Valkyrie is a Golden Age aviator who debuted in Air Fighters Comics #2 in 1943, sharing adventures with Airboy in the skies of World War II. She is depicted as a skilled pilot operating in wartime settings alongside other aerial heroes.

Few Golden Age aviators have lingered in the imagination quite like Valkyrie, who first swept onto the pages of Air Fighters Comics #2 back in 1943, brought to life by Ed Cronin and Fred Kida during comics' most electrifying early era. She's kept remarkable company over the decades — sharing the skies and the page with the legendary Airboy himself, alongside the likes of Leselotte von Schellendorf and Larry Wolfe — and her appearances stretch from those wartime origins all the way through Eclipse's celebrated runs and beyond, an astonishing span of over eighty years. With a presence in key titles like Airboy and Total Eclipse, she's a genuine piece of Golden Age history who never quite faded from the conversation. If you're drawn to characters with deep roots and real staying power, Valkyrie is absolutely worth tracking down.
