Supergirl

Few characters carry a name as iconic as Supergirl's, and this Bronze Age incarnation — debuting in Adventure Comics #420 in 1972 under the hands of Dave Wood and Jack Sparling — has kept genuinely rarefied company, sharing pages with the likes of Superman, Batman, and even Marvel's own Spider-Man across a catalog that stretches all the way to 2024. Her appearances span Adventure Comics, Bloodwulf, and Acme Comics, a pleasingly eclectic spread that hints at a character who turns up in unexpected corners of the comics universe. With over five decades of publishing history and a modest but intriguing twelve catalog appearances, she's a collector's curiosity worth chasing down — especially for fans who love discovering the quieter threads woven through DC's rich Bronze Age tapestry.
