When I read Jason McCall's volume Dear Hero, (2013), I realized that he references several pop culture icons, mythological & biblical figures, superheroes, and villains. I decided to start compiling a list of some of the people who appear in the volume.
I recently mentioned the list to a couple of people, noting that McCall's Dear Hero name checked Cassandra and Bucky Barnes. One of the people I was talking to responded by saying "Everyone knows Cassandra, but who is Bucky Barnes?" And another person said, "No, everybody knows Bucky, but who is Cassandra?"
Here's the cast of characters from Dear Hero, that I've identified so far:
