Huntress (Helena Wayne)

<!--Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics-->The Bronze Age Huntress was Helena Wayne, the daughter of the Batman and Catwoman of Earth-Two, an alternate universe established in the early 1960s as the world where the Golden Age stories took place. Earth-Two was also the home of the Golden Age versions of various DC characters.

Publication history

Helena's first appearance was in DC Super Stars #17, November–December 1977, which told her origin, and then All Star Comics #69 (December 1977), which came out later the same month and revealed her existence to the Justice Society of America. The bulk of her solo stories appeared as backup features in issues of Wonder Woman that were published in the early 1980s. She also appeared in Batman Family when it expanded into the so-called Dollar Comics format for its last few issues.

Following the character's death and erasure from history in Crisis on Infinite Earths #12 (1986), DC created a new Huntress (Helena Bertinelli), whose costume and weaponry are similar to that of Helena Wayne.

A trade paperback collection entitled The Huntress: Darknight Daughter was published in December 2006. It collects DC Super Stars #17 and stories from Batman Family #18 - 20, as well as the backup stories from Wonder Woman #271 - 287, #289 - 290 and #294-295. The cover art is drawn by Brian Bolland.
