Supergirl Goes Global in Action Comics #285!
@stevewmorris.bsky.social went through the original run of Supergirl stories where she's held back, kept secret, and doesn't get her moment... until the incredible, cathartic issue when she does: shelfdust.com/2026/06/10/s...
So happy to read this article again. There weren’t too many grimy Vertigo books out there.
myth v story. The idea Batman's origin is a nameless killer he (symbolically) sees in all the criminals he hunts is great as theme. But arguably early comics didn't have tbose pretentions. They were just telling stories. And in that sense, Barman finally tracking down Joe Chill makes a neat story.

“There’s a tradition in comics which has existed since the day that the first human stood back from their cave painting and thought “actually I’d better wash off that extra mammoth, it breaks the reader’s immersion”.
That tradition, of course, is to meddle with something that should be left alone”
One of my all time favorite issues!! Can’t keep a good girl down!
