Like Martin, I was a kid when I read this and the sexual aspect went over my head. I knew that Wolfman, Skeates, Sekowsky and Oskner were delivering greatness though. This story was closer to what was being published by Marvel in Dr. Strange at that time rather than anything DC was publishing in the other super titles. I agree with my fellow posters who want Nightflame brought back for the tv show. She was such a formidable villain here, that I don't know why no one ever brought her back in the comics. She would have fit right in with Peter David's mystically oriented version of Supergirl.

This could indeed be Wolfman, with his own agenda for such a super girl, but then pretty much every Supergirl prior to Kara and after are generally willing to sacrifice themselves for Superboy or Superman. <br /><br />In any case, Nightflame is a definite keeper that should be brought back. Of course, that story couldn't be done today because back then Kara was around her age in the TV show but in the comic, she's what, 16?<br /><br />As for the TV series, they probably wouldn't do another Dark Supergirl type story, let alone a sexy one like this, but if they did, you can bet the ratings for that episode would probably be up.Uncle Screensaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300304069069472828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-74902847359555946992016-05-12T12:37:04.352-04:002016-05-12T12:37:04.352-04:00The single dirtiest Supergirl story ever published...The single dirtiest Supergirl story ever published period. And with that meshugginah "Approved by the Comics Code Authority" stamp right there on the cover no less.<br />I've always suspected that Marv Wolfman was embarrassed by his brief tenure on ye old "Supergirl starring in Adventure Comics" and finally worked his vengeance in COIE #7.<br />On the other hand Steve Skeates was the Sterling Gates of the 1970's he reallyr-really "Got Supergirl", routinely moved her into supernatural settings that put The Maid of Might in a very flattering light indeed. My great regret is that he wasn't put on the subsequent short lived Solo Book the stories would have been an order of magnitude better.<br />I think we can be assured that the tv series won't be adapting this one for broadcast anytime soon.<br />:)<br /><br />JF<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-176427723250227762016-05-12T08:52:08.890-04:002016-05-12T08:52:08.890-04:00I was a little kid when that came it and of course...I was a little kid when that came it and of course it went over my head. Now, blimey... I was shocked, shocked I tell you, when the orgasm business was brought to my attention a few years back. Nasty must've been extra jealous! <br /><br />I love the Nightflame design, I want her brought back just as she was. <br /><br />As for Geoff, how Kara could go for that HIPPY when Dick Malverne was pining somewhere, I'll never know.
