Batgirl

Few debuts in Silver Age DC carry the electricity of Detective Comics #359 in 1967, when Gardner Fox and Murphy Anderson introduced Batgirl to an already-legendary corner of the DC Universe. Nearly six decades of continuous publication later — 389 catalog appearances spanning 1967 all the way to 2026 — she stands as one of the most enduring figures the era produced, with six key issues that collectors have singled out as milestones worth hunting down. Her world is the very heart of DC's Gotham mythology: her pages are shared with Batman, Robin, Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, and even Green Lantern, placing her consistently at the center of the publisher's most iconic adventures across Detective Comics, Batman, and Nightwing. If you're building a serious DC collection, Batgirl isn't a footnote — she's a throughline.
