Zatanna Zatara is a fictional character in the DC Comics universe. Created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Murphy Anderson, Zatanna first appeared in Hawkman vol. 1 #4 (October-November 1964).
Zatanna is the daughter of magician Giovanni Zatara (who appeared in Golden Age comic books) and Sindella, a member of the mystical “Homo magi” race. Zatanna is a direct descendant of the alchemist Nicholas Flamel (who was a famous alchemist in the 14th and 15th centuries), and Nostradamus[citation needed]. Her younger cousin, the teenager Zachary Zatara, is also a magician in the DCU.
The Vertigo series Madame Xanadu also has Zatanna’s father as homo magi, and a descendant of Leonardo da Vinci. Zatara notes she met the Phantom Stranger as a child, and the Stranger gave her da Vinci’s notebooks, written backwards. In time Zatara used this to focus her powers.
Zatanna makes her living as a stage illusionist prior to discovering her magical abilities while investigating the disappearance of her father.
