Artist Chuck Winter and writer Don Cameron, the creative team behind Liberty Belle, were both extremely accomplished and prolific comic creators. Though both would create - or contribute to the evolution of - numerous characters for a plethora of publishers, Liberty Belle was far and away their best work. In fact, a case could be made that Liberty Belle was the best conceived and realized of all the many female patriotic heroines of the Golden Age. Unfortunately, the level of her popularity never seemed to equal the quality of her tales.
First appearing in the back pages of DC Comics' Boy Commandos #1 in the Winter of 1942-43, most of her stories would be published in Star Spangled Comics until May of 1947. However, she would not actually appear on the cover of any comic book until August of 1981 (Justice League of America #193). In the modern age, she would enjoy a superior run as a member of Roy Thomas's outstanding All-Star Squadron. In current continuity she is retired and her daughter (from a union with GA speedster Johnny Quick) has taken over as the new Liberty Belle.
The story below is the first appearance and origin of Liberty Belle, and is interesting for the way it provides sustainable motivation by profoundly weaving the events of the day into the narrative.
Special thanks too
