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.
You can find the show at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube… wherever you get your podcasts, or at the Digging For Kryptonite homepage via the hyperlink.
Too Dangerous For a Girl 2 
Infantino was awesome in that period. Hated the costume she died in though. Good luck with the podcast! I can’t listen to the things because I can’t just listen and I always end up not listening pretty early on. Same with streaming.

I enjoyed the pod, Mart! And thanks to you both for pointing out that really touching Schutz/Sale Supergirl story in Solo #1! That last image, of Supergirl curled up in a dark room, with a fire going, a glass of wine by her side, and Streaky on her lap, says it all.
I wonder if the first caption on that page is a deliberate nod to the Joni Mitchell song, “The Last Time I Saw Richard”? I’d be surprised if Schutz hadn’t heard it, and it’s such a moody song — it’s a different Richard, and a different relationship, but it somehow still feels perfect to me.

Oh, I like that theory, I don’t know the song – that makes the strip even better for me.
Many tas for the kind words about the podcast.
