Nobody lives forever. Not Superman. Not Severus Snape. And, apparently, no Nancy Drew.
Nancy Drew came onto the scene in 1930, a teenage amateur detective who solved “The Secret of the Old Clock.”
To celebrate her 90th birthday, Dynamite is her killing her off. Joe and Frank Hardy will investigate her demise.
“Nancy Drew & The Hardy Boys: The Death Of Nancy Drew No. 1” will hit shelves in April.
"Over the years, there have been a lot of difficult mysteries to solve in the lives of Nancy Drew as well as the Hardy Boys," writer Anthony Del Col told comicsbeat.com. "But I wanted to top them all, and so (I) put together the ultimate case — solving Nancy's death! Joe Eisma and I have had a blast really coming up with some twists and turns that all fans — new and old — of Nancy, Frank, and Joe will enjoy."
During the past 90 years, Nancy Drew's legacy has expanded to include books, comics, video games and two television shows.

While fans are bothered by the prospect of losing the character, they are royally ticked off about the female protagonist being killed so her two male friends can have the spotlight during her birthday.
More than a few people on Twitter posited the prospect it’s not real, and Nancy Drew will be alive when it’s over.
