Lee hasn’t appeared in any significant way since, which is disappointing, but the character is so likable and engaging here and bounces nicely off Kara. A one-off issue of Supergirl amid some other big stories in the Rebirth era, this book was notable for introducing DC’s first non-binary character-teenage civilian Lee Serrano. My personal favorite of the older stories in this volume is “One Life” by Orlando, Ayala, and Campbell.
This is just a great spotlight kicking off Kate’s tenure in this title with excellent writing and stunning art. This issue also introduces Jacob Kane and Alice, but doesn’t delve too much into Kate’s origin yet. Rucka and Williams III delivered a highly acclaimed origin story for Kate Kane, giving her a backstory that involved Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell and finding her own path after she was kicked out of the military. Next up is the first chapter of “Elegy” in Detective Comics #854, starring Batwoman.
The LGBT content here is light and casual, and given the time period that works nicely as an antidote.
GREEN LANTERN DC COSTUME FOR A TODDLER CRACK
Wally West, always a bit immature, makes a casual crack about Joker being gay and his reformed villain friend Pied Piper casually reveals that he’s gay, leaving Wally kicking himself as he and Superman get pulled into an elaborate and rather silly plot involving Jimmy Olsen and a deposed dictator. Ray: This anthology is a little different from the rest, because three of the four stories here are reprints, each featuring a groundbreaking LGBT character from DC’s history, but the fourth story is all new and it’s worth taking a look back to see how far we’ve come.įirst up is a tale that I believe actually had the first out gay character in DC Comics- Flash #53, with the tale “Fast Friends” from August 1991. DC Pride Through The Years #1 – William Messner-Loebs, Greg Rucka, Steve Orlando/Vita Ayala, Tim Sheridan, Writers Greg LaRocque/Jose Marzan Jr., JH Williams III, Jamal Campbell, Cian Tormey, Artists Glenn Whitmore, Dave Stewart, Matt Herms, Colorists Ray – 9/10
