The Legendary Lynx Graphic Novel strikes out:
Alex Segura (known for Dick Tracy) teams up with artist Sandy Jarrell (Archie vs. Predator), colorist Grey Allison, and letterer Jack Morelli to bring you The Legendary Lynx — an expansion of Segura’s hit novel Secret Identity. This release dives into "previously undiscovered" content, offering a layered 1970s-era mystery that ties directly into the world of the original story while also standing alone as a wonderfully nostalgic comic adventure for new readers.
Preorders for The Legendary Lynx are live now through Diamond, Lunar (with an FOC date of October 14, 2024), and the Mad Cave website. It officially drops in bookstores on November 12, 2024, and hits comic shops on November 13, 2024.
The Legendary Lynx marks the return of an iconic street-level superhero, remastered and enriched with bonus material—making this the first time the saga has been available in five decades.

Welcome to Triumph City, a metropolis teeming with corruption where danger lurks in every shadow. The city's lone protector? The Lynx, a relentless crimefighter on a mission to keep the streets safe. By day, she’s Claudia Calla, a humble secretary at Triumph City’s leading newspaper. But a painful personal tragedy drives her to don the mask of the Lynx, vowing to shield others from the same suffering. When a figure from her past reemerges, pleading for her help against a hidden conspiracy, Claudia must grapple with her dual life and the heavy burden of her duty.
Originally created by Harvey Stern and Doug Detmer, who both met untimely and mysterious deaths shortly after the series’ debut, The Legendary Lynx has been painstakingly researched to uncover the forgotten contributions of Carmen Valdez, who now receives her long-overdue credit as co-creator.
In reality, The Legendary Lynx isn’t a reprint at all. Alex Segura, a 2022 LA Times Book Prize winner, wove this tale into his critically acclaimed novel Secret Identity — and now the story continues in Alter Ego.
Featuring gorgeous, era-perfect illustrations by Sandy Jarrell, The Legendary Lynx blurs the line between fiction and reality, delivering a truly immersive reading experience.
Mark your calendars: this remastered treasure lands on November 12, 2024!
Quotes from Alex Segura:
"When I learned the story of Carmen Valdez - and her untold story, as co-creator of THE LEGENDARY LYNX, I became obsessed with the comic, and, most importantly - finding out how to bring Carmen, Doug Detmer, and Harvey Stern's fantastic creation back into print in the way it deserves. With Sandy and the team's help, we've been able to not only snag the rights to reprint these long-lost stories, but with Carmen and the Detmer estate's blessing, we've been able to remaster and repackage these wonderful comics so they look their absolute best, and are celebrated in the way they truly deserve.
"Mad Cave - based in Miami, where Carmen (and I) hail from - is the perfect partner to help make this happen, and I'm so excited for readers to discover these lost tales of THE LEGENDARY LYNX - and experience the stunning art of Doug Detmer and Carmen and Stern's influential story - for the first time." – Writer, Alex Segura
