And I agree, Schaffenberger's art isn't spectacular, but it's solid and competent. It's also more fitting to young adult Supergirl. She no longer looks like Jim Mooney's sweet, fifteen-year-old orphan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-87555803875365877822012-10-05T06:47:20.846-04:002012-10-05T06:47:20.846-04:00Thanks for all the comments.
Like many Silver Ag...Thanks for all the comments. <br /><br />Like many Silver Age creators, I have come to appreciate and enjoy Schaffenberger more now than I did when I was a 'kid'. His stuff is solid.<br /><br />I like the streamlined blue skirt too. In a bunch of recent 'future' Supergirl looks she has something similar. It is simple and classic.<br /><br />And that cranky panel is fantastic.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-77987190614175873612012-10-04T21:28:52.522-04:002012-10-04T21:28:52.522-04:00Kurt Schaffenberger is one of the unsung heroes of...Kurt Schaffenberger is one of the unsung heroes of the Supergirl franchise...at the very least commencing in 1968 he started making her "Look Her Age", like a young woman and not so much the teenybopper in a cape.<br />Oh and that splash panel of Supergirl staring at the TV bored and cranky...PRICELESS.<br />Yeah count me in as a devotee of the original blue minidress as well.<br />Compared to some of her subsequent costumes it is a model of simplicity and practicality.<br /><br />JF<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-4996102554452954602012-10-04T07:22:01.968-04:002012-10-04T07:22:01.968-04:00amazing stuff. thanks for the great posts. amazing stuff. thanks for the great posts.

It's wonderful to see how Kurt Schaffenberger - my favourite Silver Age artist - was able to cut loose on Supergirl, as opposed to the more sedate Lois Lane fare. That panel of Kara leaping at the Thought Beast is a cracker. And Dancing Loon Supergirl, just wonderful - it reminds me of those revolting girl Legionnaires!<br /><br />The story sounds like typically clever/bonkers Robert Kanigher work, too. Who could forget Nim-El? Er, me. But I suppose his dad being a twin 'explains' Superman's imaginary story tendencies towards siring coupled kids.<br /><br />As for 'mocking moonlight' - indeed!<br /><br />Thanks again - it feels like my birthday!Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.com
