Will definately have to see how things play out come 2nd season, and whether<br />this Lena will be friend, enemy, or what...<br /><br /><br />RegardsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-12576762592158858402016-08-11T12:37:03.829-04:002016-08-11T12:37:03.829-04:00They really knew how to compress a ton of storylin...They really knew how to compress a ton of storyline into a 13 page supporting feature back in the day didn't they? (the magic secret is HUGE I mean HEEE-UGE expository dialogue panels).<br />On a discursive note I love the way Jim Mooney depicted Supergirl in flight, arms and legs akimbo, it could look very clumsy indeed but he imparts poise into the pose.<br />And "I've a Big Secret and GalPal Bestie has ESP!" is soooo weirdly contemporary a half a dozen modern TV shows have likely touched on the very trope at one time or another....<br />Lena had a real arc within the Supergirl feature, in a subsequent story she gets married (Linda is suitably envious in a pre-women's lib sort of a way), has a son becomes a widow and is still an occasional supporting character in the feature well into the Superman Family Dollar Books period (where she was slated to become a villain before being written out entirely in one of those bewildering shake ups in SG's writing staff)....<br /><br />JF<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
