One more 2 parter to review once the issues come in.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-53061185284310599102022-06-10T00:04:22.476-04:002022-06-10T00:04:22.476-04:00Unfortunately, Sheldon Mayer passed away in 1991, ...Unfortunately, Sheldon Mayer passed away in 1991, and Tony DeZuniga died in 2012. Joe Orlando and Michael Fleisher have also gone to their re-ward, as Granny Clampett used to say.<br /><br />I like to think that Kara got so bored and fed up with the types of stories she was getting in her own book, that rather than wait and hope that things would get better, she created the Black Orchid identity for her own self respect.Professor Feetlebaumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-26655293930191958782022-06-09T16:27:56.258-04:002022-06-09T16:27:56.258-04:00Are Sheldon Meyer and Tony DeZuniga still with us?...Are Sheldon Meyer and Tony DeZuniga still with us? if so, I am “All In” :) Doubtful I know, but my sentiments stand all the same.<br />JFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-14128748139859880292022-06-09T12:57:08.596-04:002022-06-09T12:57:08.596-04:00Here me out: The original Earth 1 exists out ther...Here me out: The original Earth 1 exists out there since Convergence, only recorded up to the day the Crisis cycle started. A story where Linda loves being Supergirl and publicly known as Superman's cousin but to escape the undertsandable pressure she feels at times has created the Black Orchid to do good with no expectations is possible. If Byrne can do cringy fan fiction, I don't see why someone couldn't do this. I would Venmo DC five dollars for every issue I read!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12481829406510429627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-62312077615129079532022-06-08T19:29:41.352-04:002022-06-08T19:29:41.352-04:00Well a certain cypher feel is a hallmark of a DCU ...Well a certain cypher feel is a hallmark of a DCU supernatural type hero, sometimes at least, After all anyone out there have the Phantom Stranger’s birth certificate? “Cain, Abel & Eve” anyone?<br />I still will die atop the hill coded as “This is Supergirl’s Side Hustle”; but I suspect she was trying out a new identity on a different Earth in the multiverse one where superhuman crimefighters do not exist, hence the “like in the comics” line instead of “Just like Supergirl”...:)<br />After all, for a heroine who time travels at the drop of a hat and has been to furthest dimensions to say nothing of her own psyche, who is to say bronze age Supergirls wouldn’t have a “night job” on “Earth Noir”?<br />I am definitely moving Black Orchid up kn my “find list” these are glorious looking stories.<br /><br />JFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-28559337757045447372022-06-08T14:43:32.472-04:002022-06-08T14:43:32.472-04:00Well, I’m still open to the idea this is Kara at w...Well, I’m still open to the idea this is Kara at weekends. Again, I wish someone would pick up the character and do some new stories in the same spirit as these.
