Source-derived summary

Danger Girl is an American comic book series created by J. Scott Campbell and Andy Hartnell that started in March 1998 and is still published as a new series. The comic stars an eponymous group of female secret agents—Abbey Chase, Sydney Savage and Sonya Savage, who engage in adventures in the vein of other fictional characters like Charlie's Angels, James Bond, Indiana Jones, and Lara Croft. They are led by a former British Secret Service Agent named Deuce and guided by teenage genius Silicon Valerie.

Characters

Main

Abbey Chase

Abbey is a champion marksman, virtuoso of languages, scholar of world history, and (most widely) a heart-stopping femme fatale. Though spending the majority of her young life as a loner, Abbey is both a team player and a natural leader. She began her career as a freelance treasure hunter working under the radar and outside the law. Abbey still finds herself trying to elude the many villainous characters she has crossed and outwitted in her pre-Danger Girl days. After bumping into the Danger Girls during one of her adventure-filled hunts, Abbey shepherded the ladies to victory in their first battle against the menacing Hammer Empire. Soon after, Abbey became a full-fledged member of this international covert-operations unit. She replaced Natalia Kassle as DG's field-commander.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Danger Girl” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Danger, Girl and comic provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3013506. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1998.

Critical limits

Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
