History

Samantha-cronin.png

Samantha Cronin is the daughter of strong and once prominent political-aid, Irene Merryweather-Cronin. Throughout Samantha's life, her mother's ingenuity and indomitable spirit were a source of inspiration for her, eventually motivating her to become a superhero, the Flying Fox.

Early in her career, the Flying Fox ran into comic book writer Sally Twinings at the Astro City Comic Book Convention. The two discussed the possibility of an authorized comic about her exploits as a new superhero, focusing on the challenges of starting out, earning respect, and establishing a reputation.
