He does have a nice ethereal quality to her.<br /><br />I'll recheck the credits. It didn't feel like Levitz' Kara so I wouldn't be surprised to see someone else putting the words in her mouth. She really comes off as sullen here. Her first appearance in part 1 is arms crossed, head down, almost annoyed to be recruited by WW. Her last words in part 3 are threatening Zatanna.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-38452024014528076962012-03-29T06:29:09.321-04:002012-03-29T06:29:09.321-04:00Yeah that dialogue reads "very Marvel", ...Yeah that dialogue reads "very Marvel", likely it was written by Roy The Boy Thomas.<br />It is the sort of thought balloons and dialogue bubbles one might see over Peter Parker or Ben Grimm's heads.<br />:D<br />Geez I forgot how much fun it was to see Supergirl destroying Nazi Panzer Tanks with her bare hands, the very picture definition of Karatharsis!<br />This being Wonder Woman's book, you had to expect the amazon to take center stage at the climax...which points up a serious lack of Supergirl-Wonder Woman teams back in the Silver-Bronze age. I think the two of them only got together some four times almost all of them problematic in varying degrees.<br />Gene Colan drew a very tall good looking REGAL Supergirl...one earnestly wishes he had somehow been given prime art chores in her Superman Family Feature. Yeah I know...impossible.<br /><br />JFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-82346731118525891402012-03-28T19:15:57.851-04:002012-03-28T19:15:57.851-04:00Great piece, I'd forgotten how much fun that s...Great piece, I'd forgotten how much fun that storyline was. Wasn't it Roy Thomas scripting, though, from a Paul Levitz plot? That might explain the pricklier Kara. Not that I minded, this was the period when Kara was really growing into her own woman.<br /><br />I love the cover treatment, at the time I thought it was original, but now know that DC had tried it several times for their war comics. Still, a classic's a classic.<br /><br />I think this was the first time Madame Xanadu left her Doorway to Nightmare for an active role alongside DC's heroes ... a trendsetting issue indeed!<br /><br />I adore Gene Colan's Kara; did he draw her anywhere else besides here and the Phantom Zone mini-series?Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-67833896441097649522012-03-28T13:07:22.917-04:002012-03-28T13:07:22.917-04:00Aww, I thought we were going to try a crossover wi...Aww, I thought we were going to try a crossover with these issues someday.
