The Legendary Lynx

EXPERIENCE ONE OF COMICS’ MOST-BELOVED ＂LOST＂ STORIES - 1970s SUPERHERO CLASSIC ’THE LEGENDARY LYNX’ IS FINALLY BACK IN PRINT

The influential street-level superhero saga is available again for the first time in 50 years - remastered and featuring essential bonus material!

Welcome to Triumph City. A city plagued by corruption and crime, where every alleyway and dark corner holds a deadly secret. The lone figure, standing against the onslaught of crime, is a savvy crimefighter known as the Lynx - sworn to protect the city that forged her.
By day, she’s Claudia Calla, a quiet secretary at Triumph City’s biggest paper. A woman haunted by a dark tragedy that has pushed her toward taking on the mantle of the Lynx - to prevent others from experiencing the same pain she’s dealt with. But when a specter from her earliest days returns, asking for her help against a cabal of dark forces, the Lynx must choose between her heroic responsibilities and her debt to a dear friend.

THE LEGENDARY LYNX was created by writer Harvey Stern and artist Doug Detmer, two creators who died under mysterious circumstances before and shortly after the series was first published. Though originally credited solely to Stern as the writer, diligent research has uncovered that Stern co-created the script and story to the Lynx’s seminal debut by renowned novelist and writer Carmen Valdez. For the first time ever, she is given proper credit in this volume.

(But in reality, ＂The Legendary Lynx＂ is no reprint. Crafted by LA Times Book Prize-winning novelist Alex Segura in his 2022 work, ＂Secret Identity＂ - a story that continues in the follow-up, ＂Alter Ego,＂ - and brought to life by artist Sandy Jarrell’s masterful artwork, this series blurs the lines between fiction and reality in the best way possible - the remastered pages of this forgotten gem, restored to its former glory and presented anew for readers hungry for adventure.)

Alex Segura is the bestselling and award-winning author of Secret Identity, which The New York Times called ＂wittily original＂ and named an Editor’s Choice. NPR described the novel as ＂masterful,＂ and it received starred reviews from Publishers Weekly, Kirkus, and Booklist. Secret Identity was also listed as one of the Best Mysteries of the Year by NPR, Kirkus, Booklist, the South Florida Sun Sentinel and more, and was nominated for the Anthony Award for Best Hardcover, the Lefty and Barry Awards for Best Novel, the Macavity Award for Best Mystery Novel, and won the LA Times Book Prize in the Mystery/Thriller category. His next novel, the YA Spider-Verse adventure Araña/Spider-Man 2099: Dark Tomorrow is out now from Disney Books/Marvel Press.

Since his earliest work with Jeff Parker on the creator-owned Meteor Men (Oni Press), Sandy Jarrell has drawn comics for DC Comics (Bombshells, Teen Titans Go!, Black Canary, Batman ’66), Dark Horse Comics (Neil Gaiman’s Norse Mythology), Image (Scrapper), Archie (Archie and Sabrina), and more. He lives in North Carolina with his wife, two kids, and two dogs.
