5.0 out of 5 stars classic and timeless Supergirl adventures, December 10, 2007

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. :)

This is a collection of Supergirl stories taken from the back of Action Comics. Superman had the lead story. I have the original comics but found this an easier and enjoyable way to re-read them. Stories are enjoyable and escapist entertainment. Cleaver writing makes them fun to read. Art is simple and clear. Worth reading if you want to know what made comic book collecting and reading comics back in the 1960's fun and enjoyable.

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.
