Mona Taylor

Mona Taylor stepped onto the DC stage in 1982, a Bronze Age creation of writer Gerry Conway and artist Don Heck, debuting in the pages of Justice League of America — about as prestigious an address as comics had to offer. Her catalog footprint is modest, but her three-decade span across titles like Justice League and The All-New Batman: The Brave and the Bold speaks to a quiet staying power, and sharing panels with the likes of Robin and a colorful cast of card-suited characters gives her corner of the DC universe a genuinely intriguing flavor. For collectors who love hunting the overlooked figures tucked into the margins of comics history, Mona Taylor is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through long boxes worthwhile.
