Darna
One of the most interesting comic book creations in the world is Darna from the Phillippines. She's pretty much like Jalila crossed with Wonder Woman and immensely popular in her home country where there have been many Darna movies and a recent top-rated TV series.
It's strange that Darna has not travelled to the US and the UK when both comic book markets have been so open in the past to overseas influences, such as Manga - and of course, more recently, Middle East Heroes.
Darna was developed by genius Mars Ravelo and you can find out more about her here:
