Broom-Hilda

Russell Myers' lovably cantankerous witch made her comics collection debut in the Bronze Age, with Broom-Hilda Rides Again #2 in 1975 — bringing to print the irreverent charm of a newspaper strip character who had already been winning over readers in syndication. Her appearances span titles like Broom Hilda Boo! and Ugly Is As Ugly Does Broom-Hilda, collected under Ace Books, making her a delightful curiosity for fans of humor comics from that era. Small in catalog footprint but big in personality, Broom-Hilda is a reminder that the Bronze Age wasn't all capes and cosmic crises — sometimes it was a wisecracking witch on a broomstick, and that was more than enough.
