*DC: The 1970s revival of All-Star Comics, starring the legendary Justice Society (at first the ‘Super Squad’, but they dispensed with that nonsense quickly) had many creative highlights, and is a much-loved run. Two breakout characters, however, were what came to be called ‘legacy’ heroes. Power Girl was the first, cousin of Earth-2’s Superman, followed in #69 by the Huntress, daughter of Earth-2’s Batman and Catwoman, combining the best traits of both her parents into a distaff Darknight Detective for a new generation. Her debut appearance was made much mystery about inside the issue’s pages, but somebody forgot to tell the cover artist that, as she’s ‘teased’ heavily on the cover! Huntress has helmed several solo series, and a version of the character can be seen in the Birds of Prey film currently on release. Her many-layered career kicked off right here!
