Darna is a fictional character and superheroine created by Filipino komiks (Philippine colloquial term for comics) artist Mars Ravelo. In her more popular incarnations, she is a deceased warrior from another planet manifesting herself through a girl from Earth, named Narda.

Darna was originally known as Varga and first appeared in Bulaklak Magazine, Volume 4, #17, on July 23, 1947. Ravelo had differences with the editors of Bulaklak Magazine and Varga’s name was changed to “Darna”. The character was re-launched on May 13, 1950. Nestor Redondo drew the first Darna.
