Kara Zor-El / Linda Lee

Few characters carry the warmth and wonder of the Silver Age quite like Kara Zor-El / Linda Lee, who stepped onto the scene in 1959's Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #40, brought to life by the legendary Otto Binder and Curt Swan. A DC original through and through, she has kept extraordinary company across her pages — rubbing shoulders with Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Perry White, and the Maid of Might herself, Supergirl — in landmark titles like Action Comics and the lovingly curated DC Finest: Supergirl: The Girl of Steel. Spanning an impressive arc from 1959 all the way to 2025, her presence in the catalog is a testament to how deeply the Silver Age dream took root in comics history. For collectors tracing the origins of one of DC's most beloved corners of the universe, she's an essential piece of the puzzle.
