Valda the Iron Maiden is a fictional character created by Roy Thomas and Ernie Colón for DC Comics. She debuted in Arak, Son of Thunder #3 (August 1981).
Unlike other sword-and-sorcery heroines (such as Red Sonja), Valda is practically dressed in a full mail shirt, flat-heeled boots and (often) leather trousers.

Famous quotes containing the words iron and/or maiden:
“Summer involves going down as a steep flight of steps
To a narrow ledge over the water. Is this it, then,
This iron comfort, these reasonable taboos,
Or did you mean it when you stopped? And the face
Resembles yours, the one reflected in the water.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“This is the maiden all forlorn
That milked the cow with the crumpled horn”
—Mother Goose (fl. 17th–18th century. The House That Jack Built (l. 22–23)
