She is the granddaughter of Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson, the American comic book publishing pioneer and founder of DC Comics. Unfortunately, “The Major,” as he was known for his military career, was later financially kicked out of the company, and as a result, the family has no financial ties to DC Comics.
It is unclear if Wheeler has any siblings as she has not shared those details online. Dana attended Friends Seminary High School in New York City from where she enrolled in 1978. There are no details on which, if any, college she enrolled in.
