Who is Linda Turner?

Hollywood glamour meets Golden Age heroism in Linda Turner, a Harvey Comics creation who first dazzled readers in Speed Comics #23 back in 1942, brought to life by artist Arturo Cazeneuve. She's gone on to share pages with some of the era's most beloved characters — Black Cat, Captain Freedom, and Shock Gibson among them — placing her squarely in the vibrant, pulpy world of Harvey's wartime lineup. Her strongest presence runs through Black Cat Comics and Speed Comics, the twin pillars of Harvey's Golden Age output, and the fact that her name has surfaced as recently as 2025 — even turning up in Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Comic — speaks to a staying power that few characters from that era can claim. With over eight decades of publication history and 36 catalog appearances, Linda Turner is a genuine Golden Age gem well worth tracking down.
