I'm not talking about sidekicks or partners like Robin who have adventures with the hero, but those spun off into their own solo adventures. The earliest I can think of off the top of my head is Captain Marvel, Jr. Anyone got any earlier examples?

I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:
Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.
My first thought was the Marvels as well. Junior first, then Mary. At Marvel, I think Sun Girl may have been spun out of Captain America. I don't think Namora actually appeared in Sub-Mariner before getting her own series.
