Summary: Kara Zor-El takes the stage
Review: "Supergirl Archives Vol. 1" collects the Supergirl back-up stories from Action Comics #252-268. It also includes the Supergirl "try-out" issue from Action Comics #123, where Jimmy Olsen wishes up a "Super-Girl" companion for his buddy Superman. It all ends badly of course, but paves the way for Superman's cousin, Kara Zor-El to arrive in a rocket 8 months later. In these early issues, Supergirl is hidden away from the public. She is Superman's secret weapon and spends most of her time maintaining her secret identity of orphan Linda Danvers. Eventually, she goes to the future to meet the Legion of Super-Heroes and Tommy Tomorrow. Her pet, Streaky the Supercat shows up as well. The stories, written mainly by Otto Binder of Marvel Family fame, showcase the beginning of what would become the Superman Family. Soon Comet the Superhorse, Beppo the Supermonky and the entire bottle city of Kandor would be roaming around with "The Last Son of Krypton." There is a charming innocence in the stories, and they are very well crafted silver age comics. The art, by Jim Mooney and Al Plastino, is suiting to the stories. The new Frank Miller cover is a nice addition, although an odd choice as he is not an artist one associates with the character of Supergirl.

Summary: WORLDS FINEST COMICS ARCHIVE VOLUME 1
Review: I BOUGHT WORLDS FINEST COMICS ARCHIVES VOLUME 1 AND I WAS FOOLED. DURING THE 1940S EACH CHARACTOR HAD THEIR OWN STORY. I STILL REMEMBER SOME OF THOSE STORIES. I STOPPED BUYING THE MAGAZINE WHEN THEY COMBINED SUPERMAN & BATMAN TOGATHER. I ENJOYED SEEING THE OLD COVERS FROM THE 40S. BUT THE STORIES FROM THE 50S ARE NOT INTERESTING TO ME. YOU SHOULD HAVE PUT INTO YOUR ADD THAT THE VOLUME 1 CONTAINED ONLY THE COMBINED SUPERMAN-BATMAN STORIES

Summary: An Enjoyable Collection
Review: I enjoyed this early collection of the origins of Supergirl, who is Superman's cousin. This is when comics had a meticulous continuity and strived to create stories that made sense to the readers. I reccomend this to those fans of the DC family. It makes a lovely gift to someone who remembers those days. It will leave you wishing for still more as it did me. The Supergirl stories are sweet-natured as is Supergirl herself. I look forward to seeing future volumes, hopefully some that will include the era of Kurt Schauffenberger's art. Buy this while you can.

Summary: "Linda Lee!"
Review: I first discovered Supergirl when I had to accompany my ride to the grocery story. There I picked up Issue 9 of the current Supergirl and was *hooked*. I'd pick up a copy here and there, but couldn't really keep up with the storyline.
Then I picked up this book...Yowzah! I'm even more of a Supergirl fan now than I was before! I have to wonder if the current writers were tipping their hats to the original ones when they gave the new supergirl's alter-ego the name of "Linda"...
Oy, I catch myself rambling. I'm not a rabid comic book person, in fact, I'd have to say that Supergirl is the only one that ever caught my interest (though I do have to tip my hat to Wolverine, cause he's Canadian!). The publishers did a superb job in their presentation of this classic. The artwork is (of course) superb, and I find that knowing what the *original* Supergirl was like makes me like the current one even more. I earnestly await the second volume, and the next issue!
I'm sorry if this wasn't much help, I'm not much of one for reviews. All I can say, is that if you like Supergirl, or just classic comic books in general, this is a really good buy.

Summary: Jerry Siegel's original Supergirl is the best!
Review: I really love the first and original Supergirl/Linda Lee by Jerry Siegel! She was truly, truly the best, compared to the later supergirls. I hope WB can adapt Jerry Siegel's original Supergirl/Linda Lee and add her to TV's Smallville later on! Also, the comics writers made a huge mistake by killing the original supergirl in the 1980's and coming up with inferior supergirls afterwards. They should have just retired her peacefully on earth and leave Linda Lee/Supergirl alive! To me, she's always been Earth's Guardian Angel after Superman!
