As a matter of fact, "Current Supergirl" is so dangerous and immature she just about qualifies as a Kupperberg era VILLAINESS.

I agree Dave, this Super...Thanks for the comments.<br /><br />I agree Dave, this Supergirl series has aged well and shows the strongest and most confidant Kara. No temper tantrums ... but righteous fury. Such good stuff. And it is amazing how many 'young heroes' DC had on the shelf around this time.<br /><br />Mart, I think this is before Ostrander began writing. And I really like Infantino on this book as well. And Oksner was a great choice to ink him.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-54320404814335513242014-02-16T14:00:26.244-05:002014-02-16T14:00:26.244-05:00Such fun times, it's great to see Joan again, ...Such fun times, it's great to see Joan again, and how funny that a character was named after Ostrander - wasn't that before he began writing for First Comics, when he was still a Chicago actor? No wonder Linda ran into him. And I just love Infantino's stylings, that shot of Linda on the bed is a hoot. I wish Kupperberg would pop across from Archie, sometime.Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-27289821892147123572014-02-16T09:42:36.965-05:002014-02-16T09:42:36.965-05:00I'm fond of this series for much the same reas...I'm fond of this series for much the same reasons as you are too Anj.<br />It is the one Carmine Infantino drawn series I unreservedly like his art, there are a lot of subtle touches to it which he brings.<br />Paul Kupperberg writes an independent and self reliant Supergirl who feels competent and believable, in a way other Supergirl's do not. I think the key element of her is her emotional stability - she isn't given to temper tantrums or undue self doubt, in many instances she is allowed to be the one who sees things from a more rational stance than Superman himself does. Particularly by this stage of her life.<br /><br />'The Daring Adventures...' was a series that didn't get good distribution, my memory of it was that the issues I found at the time weren't found on the newsstand with the rest of DCs monthlies but rather from second-hand sources. If it isn't on the shelves then it isn't going to sell, thus I have always regretted the books short run as it really was/is as good as anything DC put out at the time. This is the era where The Outsiders, the Titans, Firestorm, and to some extent Amethyst, were all making an impact for DC and yet Supergirl was allowed to go by without any advertising or support that I remember, but as I say if it isn't on the shelves with the rest of DCs output of course it isn't going to get noticed, much less <i>sell</i>.Dave Mullennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-83818685135318269612014-02-15T23:32:56.986-05:002014-02-15T23:32:56.986-05:00Interesting , What volumen of Supergirl is this ? ...Interesting , What volumen of Supergirl is this ?
