Golden Age Appearances
- Thrilling Comics #1, 3, 5-7, 13-16
Notes
- The Nedor comics were renewed by Popular Library, which was eventually bought out by Fawcett Books. When Fawcett went out of business, Popular Library was sold to Warner Bros. A number of different publishers, however, are currently/have been using these characters without any lawsuits from Warner Bros., so any action over them is (probably) unlikely. They are still, however, "use at your own risk" characters.
- Although her hair is red, on the cover of Thrilling Comics #1, it is blonde and, inside the comic, her hair is colored red or blonde in different panels (a common coloring error at the time).
