Like much of the art on this Superman Family run, it is pretty rough and bland.<br /><br />So I guess I am damning with faint praise when I say I like him more then Abel and Heck.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-76594387365708704932012-05-25T09:29:15.447-04:002012-05-25T09:29:15.447-04:00Well let me qualify my remarks, I liked Win Mortim...Well let me qualify my remarks, I liked Win Mortimer's first run on Supergirl, early in her Adventure Comics run, it was crude at times, but it had a lot of emotional content. His second run during "The Superman Family" Dollar Books, is stiff, lifeless & rushed looking. Some people claim he wasn't being inked to advantage others say Mortimer was "played out" as a penciler...It is open to debate at any rate.<br /><br /><br />JFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-50868177702410345042012-05-25T03:43:57.067-04:002012-05-25T03:43:57.067-04:00I MISS SUPERGIRL TRUE, I VERY LIKE HISTORY HER.I MISS SUPERGIRL TRUE, I VERY LIKE HISTORY HER.Gustavo Delamarqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806850582149530067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-9849344896889726082012-05-24T06:43:11.343-04:002012-05-24T06:43:11.343-04:00Thanks for the comments!

I would rank those artists talent in this order: Mortimer, Abel, then Heck (whose work I have never really liked). <br /><br />The court room proceedings are a little scary for an 'advanced society' although I guess page constraints made the story need to move quickly.

And Jack C. Harris is one of those unsung Supergirl writers that really made a sustained effort to upgrade the character's storyline.<br />I've always thought that there should have been more tension between Kara and Kandor, her parents were down there (what 22 yr old woman gets along perfectly with mom and dad??) while the Kandorians for the most part treated her like an oversized servant when they weren't arresting her and tossing her into the Zone.<br />JFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
