Lian Harper

Lian Harper stepped into the DC Universe in 1986, introduced in the pages of Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe at the dawn of the Copper Age — a character whose very debut in a reference tome signals how deliberately DC wove her into their mythology from the start. Over four decades she's kept remarkable company, sharing adventures with the likes of Roy Harper, Dick Grayson, Superman, and Nightwing across titles including Action Comics Weekly, Detective Comics, and The Titans. With two collector-recognized key issues to her name and a publishing presence stretching all the way to 2026, Lian is a figure whose quiet but persistent place in DC's continuity rewards the fans who seek her out — proof that not every enduring character needs a cape to matter.
