![]() While Barda had first appeared two issues earlier, my favorite Kirby-written and drawn Barda story is by far issue six of the original “Mister Miracle” series. ‘Funky Flashman’ (Mister Miracle Vol.1 #6) More ‘Age of X-Man,’ the return of Daredevil and other comics for Feb. Check out those pieces here, here, here and here. NOTE: Dan has written extensively about this past year’s excellent “Mister Miracle” series from Tom King and Mitch Gerads, which is a must for any Barda fan, so I’ve left it off this list. This week, Barda will headline DC’s new “Female Furies” miniseries, so we’re looking at four stories to check out if you want to see Barda at her best. Inspired by Kirby’s wife, Roz, Barda is fiercely loyal and protective of her friends and her husband, and a terror to her enemies. She’s … Big Barda! (You thought I was talking about Wonder Woman, didn’t you?)Ĭreated by Jack Kirby in “Mister Miracle” #4, Barda is an escapee of the dread world Apokolips, the former leader of Granny Goodness’ Female Furies, the wife of Mister Miracle, Scott Free, and one of the featured New Gods. ![]() She is a major figure in the DC Universe. She’s a warrior woman who knows few equals. ![]() ![]() By MATTHEW LAZORWITZ, WMQ Comics senior contributor ![]()
