But I was young.<br /><br />Since then, I have come to completely appreciate the clean and beautiful work the man produced.

Not just any artist could have successfully followed definitive Supergirl artist Jim Mooney on the character. Much as I love Swan and Kirby, Schaffenberger is also my favorite Jimmy Olsen artist. Anj, the DC Superhero Girls action figures are on sale now at Target. I llok forward to your review of the Supergirl one.William Ashley Vaughannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-38358286450502181452016-03-07T14:44:32.252-05:002016-03-07T14:44:32.252-05:00My guilty pleasures are the Supergirl stories that...My guilty pleasures are the Supergirl stories that ran in Adventure, even the ones with that weird woman with the eye patch. Maybe its nostalgia.

Hahah...> I mean, why would God need a starship?<br /><br />Hahahaha, nice shout out to Star Trek on that Anj. Indeed, a bit of a silly story, and thanks for digging up this story to review<br />till a new episode of Supergirl airs next week. Can't wait.<br /><br /><br />RegardsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-74448079773987391192016-03-07T09:30:22.238-05:002016-03-07T09:30:22.238-05:00I have it!I have it!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01261901670458867682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-82232358051541078202016-03-07T08:44:09.015-05:002016-03-07T08:44:09.015-05:00She does in a flashback name drop Alura and Zor-El...She does in a flashback name drop Alura and Zor-El.<br />I suppose after Supergirl was introduced to the world in Action #285 that Argo was a known aspect of her origin.<br /><br />I agree this is silly fun.

And how fab that Kara knew she could rely on a person, if a villain, to start monologuing and cackling the minute she was out of sight. <br /><br />Was Supergirl's origin public knowledge? Or did people just know the name Argo City and bare details? Does she use the names Zor and Alura? Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.com
