Nancy Drew is a fictional character, a sleuth in an American mystery series created by publisher Edward Stratemeyer as the female counterpart to his Hardy Boys series. The character first appeared in 1930. The books are ghostwritten by a number of authors and published under the collective pseudonym Carolyn Keene.
Well, she was, until a new comic series seemingly killed her off.
She’s the presumably dead star of the upcoming Dynamite comic, “Nancy Drew & the Hardy Boys: The Death of Nancy Drew.” The monthly series will see the Hardy Boys investigate the literary heroine’s death.
Longtime readers of Drew were flummoxed by the news: Why celebrate the 90th anniversary of a beloved female character by making her a ghost in her own story?
Some fans criticized the decision to apparently “fridge” Nancy Drew in her own series. “Fridging” is a comic book trope in which a female character is killed to build a male character’s development and motivation.
