Cinna

Cinna made her mark in the very first issue of The Brave and the Bold back in 1955, a landmark debut from the legendary creative partnership of Robert Kanigher and Irv Novick that helped launch one of DC's most storied anthology titles. A Golden Age figure in the truest sense, she shares her pages with a colorful cast including Brian Kent, Sir Grot, and the Viking-flavored company of Thorvald, Gunnda, and Captain Olaf — giving a vivid sense of the swashbuckling, historically adventurous world she inhabits. Her appearances are rare enough to make each one a genuine find, and the fact that her stories were deemed worthy of reprinting in The Best of the Brave and the Bold speaks to the lasting affection for that early era of DC adventure. For collectors who love the bold, exploratory spirit of mid-century comics storytelling, Cinna is exactly the kind of hidden gem that makes digging through back issues so rewarding.
