Shiera Sanders
Few characters can claim a debut as storied as Shiera Sanders, who first graced the pages of Flash Comics #1 in 1940 — one of DC's landmark Golden Age launches — brought to life by John B. Wentworth and Stan Asch. She's spent over eight decades woven into the fabric of DC history, sharing adventures alongside titans like Carter Hall, The Flash, Jay Garrick, Wonder Woman, and Batman, a roll call that speaks to just how central she is to the publisher's classic mythology. Her appearances span Flash Comics, All-Star Squadron, and The Darkstars, tracing a remarkable journey from the Golden Age through the modern era, with eight key issues that any serious collector will want to track down. With 78 catalog appearances and a publishing history stretching from 1940 all the way to 2026, Shiera Sanders is a genuine cornerstone of DC's legacy — the kind of character who rewards every deep dive.
