I always thought Paul Kupperberg was an amiable hack, but at least he liked Cousin Kara and did his best by his own dim lights to give her a decent rogue’s gallery and supporting cast.
Hey…if you can track down the old “Phantom Zone” miniseries, with pencils by Gene Colan. In it, Supergirl gets goes mano-a-mano with Faora Hu-Ul and very much comes out on top even if the fight mostly occurs off-screen so to speak.

I recently unearthed the old Paul Kupperberg/Carmine Infantino Supergirl series and, I must admit, found the issues pretty entertaining.

Their Kara was self-confident, strong, possessed a good sense of humor and, all in all, was pretty optimistic and excited about life. All in all, everything you’d want in a super-hero.

No wonder DC killed her off!

Ahhh…the one true Kara, always made it a point to rub Luthor’s nose in it whenever they tangled…ever notice that. She always made it clear that Superman’s girly cousin was more that enough to make Lex look like a fool.

I tell you, Joe Kelly is making me nostalgic for the days of Don Heck’s scratchy little pencils & Cary Bates writing by way of auto-pilot.
