classic and timeless Supergirl adventures
Dec 10 2007

- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Considering how slow(and expensive) the release rate of DC's Archive line of comic book collections is, this Showcase is a must have item for Supergirl fans!
This collection reprints Superman #123, 139, 140, 144; Jimmy Olsen #40, 44, 46, 51, 52; Lois Lane #314; and most importantly issues #252-281 of Action Comics. Some wonderful Supergirl art by Jim Mooney and Curt Swan in this collection. The only drawback would be the fact that art is reprinted in black and white, and not in color.
Definitely recommended for fans of Kara Zor-El. :)

Showcase Presents: Supergirl vol. 1

- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a collection of Supergirl stories taken from the back of Action Comics. Superman had the lead story. I have the original comics but found this an easier and enjoyable way to re-read them. Stories are enjoyable and escapist entertainment. Cleaver writing makes them fun to read. Art is simple and clear. Worth reading if you want to know what made comic book collecting and reading comics back in the 1960's fun and enjoyable.
