Notes
Created in Europe in the late 1960s, Octobriana is one of very few non-Golden Age Public Domain comic characters. Her actual creation is highly-contested. However, it appears that she was indeed created almost exclusively for the Public Domain, and to allow anyone to tell stories featuring the character. Her look is fairly distinctive - blonde with a red star tattooed on her forhead, a silk scarf top that barely conceals anything, tight snakeskin pants, cowboy boots and a sharktooth necklace.
