I love Supergirl! And like most stories from the past, they are like little time machines that show glimpses of fashion, life and attitudes from when they were written. For some reason, I find the '50s fascinating, and really enjoy most DC stories from that decade, especially Superman and Supergirl. I actually love the cringe-inducing dialog and bone-headed decisions made by the writers, most of whom were men born in the early 1900s. Jeepers!
And Supermonkey! Remember the story of the space device that duplicated baby Kal-El's spacecraft? Well a duplicate Kal-El resulted from that incident and he was bought up to be evil. So there must be a duplicate Beppo the Supermonkey at loose somewhere. Possibly an evil one.
"this is pretty incredible information..." Almost as incredible as the fact that a girl raised in a Kryptonian society would speak 20th century American English.
I don't have the DC Finest version, but I have the Showcase Presents black and white volumes of Supergirl. The stories are simple but fun and it's a really relaxing and fun read of stories.
I remember a Jeopardy question about the 90s Supergirl and how she was actually a blob of protoplasmic goo named Matrix. When Trebek gave the solution (which the contestants didn't know) you could almost telepathically sense the studio audience thinking "WTF?!?!" at that one. Man, I just don't like post-Crisis Superman :p
I had for gotten that she was Superman's cousin...I read som of their stories together long before you were born. I was not a fan, although I was ambivalent at best.
@@theprincipalofficer_1 well, this story gives all the remarkable details behind Supergirl’s existence. And of course Krypto survived because he’s the world’s greatest comic book character.
I'm reading 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow' by Tom King and Bilquis Evely right now. I get the impression you mostly stick to older comics, but this one is quite good so far.
Why didn't the lead sheets also turn to kryptonite? Come to think of it - Why didn't the people and their homes and equipment and clothing all turn to kryptonite? Just the rocks beneath their feet ? And when Argo city was blown into space why didn't it travel across umpteen light years and land on the outskirts of Smallville like everything else that got blasted off Krypton's surface? I need answers.
Just thought I would drop you a line to say how FABOLOUS that Superman tie is.

Don't forget about Krypto and the Super fleas that survived Kypton too. 😂
And Supermonkey!

I like Supergirl, I really like her cat too, fun silver age stories. Thats one of the Finest books I was most looking forward to.

I never understood super girl or krypto wonder dog when I thought super man was the last of his people sent off by his parents.

@@PaulSaether I can’t believe you would question the well researched science in this realistic masterpiece!
In the films with reeves I understand zodd and both goons as they were imprisoned and sent out as punishment but super girl.
