Customer Reviews

Classic Superman Family Adventures!

If you love the Silver Age world of Superman, it's all here! Krypto! Streaky the Super Cat! Time travel! The Bottle City of Kandor! The Legion of Super Heroes! Lex Luthor! Mxyzptlk! These stories feature the earliest adventures of Supergirl when she was filling the role of Superman's secret helper.

Really Good for Colletors

I thought this collection of original Supergirl comics was really good. It would have been better in color, but the black and white made it economical. I really enjoyed them. I even remember reading some of the stories as reprints in other comics. The stories are simple, but you have to remember they were writen in 1959 and the 1960s when comics were reativly simple. All and all I was very pleased with the collection and would highly reconmend it.

Showcase Presents-Super Collection at Great Price!

I was always caught up more in the story and the fun of the silver-age comics than the collection-mania. I guess that is why most of my old copies would be classified as "well-read." The Showcase Presents: Supergirl is another great collection of hard-to-find comics from the early days of the silver-age. I applaud DC for the fine series and look forward to purchasing many more of these titles.

Showcase Presents: Supergirl Volume 1

Excellent product. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I remember reading many of these stories when I was a child. A+++

classic and timeless Supergirl adventures

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. :)
