You'll have to pick up a few extra copies for Christmas or Birthday gifts.<br /><br />Anyway, it made me think of a cartoon that Carl Barks drew when HIS name appeared in an article in (I think) The New Yorker magazine back in the 1980s or 90s. Barks drew himself seated proudly beside a framed copy of the magazine, opened to the page with his name on it. There was also a magnifying glass attached to the frame over the exact spot.<br /><br />Professor Feetlebaumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-7650467546321034562020-11-03T13:11:27.966-05:002020-11-03T13:11:27.966-05:00Well, you know I hate this issue!

Or something.<br /><br />I'm glad all your old posts remain accessible, for researchers at Back Issue but also for everyone else.<br /> <br />Sad to see those comments in 2008, angry about how Supergirl was treated in Superman #415, and also angry at her treatment in 2008, and of course this is coming in 2020, another difficult time for fans.<br /><br />Supergirl had a 3-panel appearance in a backup story in last week's Batgirl #50. She got called in by Martian Manhunter to handle some alien threat, but offered to let Batgirl, who was also called in but then completely forgotten about, handle it. Batgirl declined, feeling both overused and under-appreciated, and, after expressing some empathy with her situation, Supergirl took off, take-out coffee in hand.<br /><br />T.N.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
