From Wiki- In her original origin, Zatanna was born to human Giovanni Zatara and Homo magi
Sindella, inheriting her mother's natural affinity for magical powers.
Six months after her birth, her mother disappeared and was presumably
dead, leading her to be raised by her father. Growing up to be a stage
magician with genuine magical powers and modelling herself similarly to
her father, Zatara later mysteriously disappears, leading her to travel
abroad to perfect her magical craft while searching for her father.[7][8]
Unknown to her, the details of her parents' disappearance were revealed
overtime; her mother would later return to her people, a clan of Homo magi
known as the "Hidden Ones" and her father was cursed by evil sorceress
Allura that would kill both himself and his daughter should he see her
again, leading him to reluctantly distance himself from her.[7][9][8]. Created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Murphy Anderson, Zatanna first appeared in Hawkman #4 (November 1964). When she is introduced, she is on a quest to find her father Zatara who made his first appearance in Action Comics #1 but had not been published regularly for several years. Back to me:DC Comics did reprint the first stories about Zatanna in the 70s. I loved the storyline that wove in between different books and heroes. And they kind of did it in order, so I could read each one, the get to the finale. She was one of my favorites, and I was glad to see her join the JLA eventually. It had been a sausage fest for decades. I love her original outfit, and her "superhero" one is pretty good.
