You know I love Supergirl. From the original Silver Age series by Otto Binder, Jim Mooney and co to the current book by Sophie Campbell via the excellence of Sterling Gates and Jamal Igle, Kara has had some fantastic runs.
And the Daring New Adventures of Supergirl has a very special place in my heart. Writer Paul Kupperberg and artists Carmine Infantino and Bob Oksner rescued Supergirl from Superman Family blandness and gave readers a dynamic, modern series starring a confident, big-hearted heroine. The book had new enemies, new friends, mystery, romance and a heck of a lot of action.
Anthony Desiato, whose Digging For Kryptonite podcast details his Superman fan journey, is devoting the current block of episodes to Supergirl in the run-up to the Millie Alcock movie. And I was delighted to join Anthony to chat about Supergirl in the Bronze Age. We take a whistle stop tour through the Seventies, talking Adventure Comics, the first Supergirl book and Superman Family before landing in Chicago. Whether you’re familiar with the material or missed the period, you’re very welcome to join us.
