Publication history
The character was originally slated for a September 1982 publication date by DC Comics. Len Wein and Ross Andru's Pandora Pann was described in The Comic Reader #197 (December 1981) as "the assistant of an archaeologist who unwittingly opens Pandora's box and spends the rest of her time trying to retrieve the evil she has unleashed by doing so".
Pandora Pann was originally scheduled to debut as a backup preview in The Saga of the Swamp Thing #5 (September 1982). Promotional art from the preview debuted in The Comic Reader #201 (April 1982). According to an interview in The Comic Reader #202 (May 1982), the series was instead put on indefinite hiatus "due to Len Wein's inability to find the time to write it".
