I am pleasantly baffled by how Helena Wayne has clung to life, here, after DC itself has been so willing to abandon (or replace) her for so long!

The original version of Helena Wayne was a great character.

Hell, look what happened when they tried to justify Power Girl staying in continuity back then!

I always thought they should have kept a Golden Age GA and moved Helena into the Queen family (well, actually, I thought they should have left E2 alone, but whatevs) Originally Posted by MajorHoy

And FYI--your favorite to debut in the early 1940s, still in the running: the Flash!

He specified early 40s. She's late 40's. Flash always goes first. Originally Posted by MajorHoy

If we were going by on sale dates, rather than cover dates, the Flash would be 1939. The first issue of FLASH COMICS (January 1940) went on sale November 10th, 1939. The first issue of WHIZ COMICS (February 1940)--numbered 2--went on sale December 1st, 1939 (approximate). Fawcett first produced two ashcans to solicit advertisers, one called FLASH COMICS (January 1940) and the other called THRILL COMICS (January 1940), starring Captain Thunder. When Fawcett found that they couldn't trademark FLASH COMICS, THRILL COMICS or Captain Thunder--they had to make the change.
