Heh. <BR/><BR/>That IS a gorgeous Alex Ross version of the "hot pants" Silver Age era Kara/Supergirl you've got there, anj! :D<BR/><BR/>However, in having said all of that I have to say that I never could understand as to why Alex Ross didn't do abouts connecting her cape to her "neck choker" itself as you so kindly showed as being the case when the artists of that eras drew it as looking like, e.g.<BR/>http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pScx8BN4h3s/SLAJaBJqjcI/AAAAAAAAA0A/WqbTJYZtU_o/s320/sgirl+10.jpg<BR/><BR/>Clearly you can see that her cape was always meant as to be actually connected to her neck choker itself an NOT as how Ross has it as being in <I>Justice</I> or his Supergirl action figure from that line here, no? :/<BR/><BR/>P.S. anj, you forgot to mention the fact that the cape itself seen worn there was actually made from Kryptonian material and in turn could actually stretch among other super abilities unlike to that of Earth's. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-91204268009065436822008-08-24T14:41:00.000-04:002008-08-24T14:41:00.000-04:00It's also rare to see a superheroine in actual sho...<I> It's also rare to see a superheroine in actual shorts rather than a bikini-style bottom.<BR/><BR/>One thing strikes me as odd though: did her shorts-and-boots uniform not have an S on the cape, like the figure?

Like you, I tracked down the <I>Justice</I> series after hearing that she appeared in it. Of course, she didn't get to do as much in <I>Justice</I> as I would have liked but it's very cool that we get such a classy and unique action figure out of the deal. *g* There's just something about her 70s look that always appeals to me--it really distinguishes her from Superman more than a lot of her uniforms have. It's also rare to see a superheroine in actual shorts rather than a bikini-style bottom.<BR/><BR/>One thing strikes me as odd though: did her shorts-and-boots uniform not have an S on the cape, like the figure?
