Who is Supergirl?

Few characters have lit up the DC Universe quite like Supergirl, who made her Silver Age entrance in Superman #130 in 1959, brought to life by writer Robert Bernstein and the legendary artist Curt Swan. Over an extraordinary span stretching from 1959 all the way to 2026, she has proven herself one of DC's most enduring icons, racking up 387 catalog appearances and 16 collector-significant key issues that speak to a legacy few can match. Her home turf spans beloved titles from Action Comics to DC Comics: Bombshells and even the charming Tiny Titans, showing a remarkable range across tone and era, and she keeps rarefied company — sharing pages with Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, and Clark Kent himself. Whether you're a longtime devotee or just discovering the depth of DC's Silver Age, Supergirl is an absolute essential.
