It reprints stories from Action Comics and other DC titles, showcasing the character's growth under the guidance of her cousin Superman.
Supergirl [Linda Lee] builds her own secret Fortress of Solitude, a sanctuary far from prying eyes—until explorers discover it and threaten to expose her unless she grants them wealth and power. With her privacy and principles on the line, she must decide how far she’ll go to protect her sanctuary, even as Superman [Clark Kent] and her loyal cat Streaky watch from the sidelines.
In "The Second Supergirl!", Supergirl [Linda Lee] journeys to a parallel Earth where she meets Marvel Maid [Lea Lindy], a woman with powers just like hers who lives openly without fear, and Marvel Man [Ken Clark], a hero whose strength rivals Superman [Clark Kent] but must conceal his identity. As she observes their lives, Supergirl begins to question her own choices—and whether the world is truly ready for her to step into the light.
In "The Supergirl of Two Worlds!", Supergirl [Linda Lee] faces a test of her mettle when she tries to prove herself to Superman [Clark Kent], but her confidence leads to a misstep that reveals she still has much to learn. With Marvel Maid [Lea Lindy] and Marvel Man [Ken Clark] watching, her attempt to impress only highlights the gap between ambition and readiness—forcing her to continue her training with humility.
Supergirl’s Three Time Trips! takes Linda Lee on a mission to research historical figures, sending her hurtling through time to witness Annie Oakley’s marksmanship, Betsy Ross sewing the first American flag, and Pocahontas in her native era—each journey complicated by the sudden presence of kryptonite. With Clark Kent’s guidance and her own courage, she must navigate these pivotal moments without revealing her true identity, all while battling the alien rock’s weakening effects.
In "Ma and Pa Kent Adopt Supergirl!", Supergirl [Linda Lee] dreams of a life where she was the one sent to Earth as a baby and raised by Martha and Jonathan Kent—her adoptive parents—instead of her cousin. The story explores that alternate path, weaving through familiar moments with the Kents, her dog Squawky, and the quiet wonder of Smallville, all while Superman [Clark Kent] and Lana Lang go about their lives just beyond the edges of her imagined past.
When John Kiley exposes Clark Kent as Superman, the Anti-Superman Gang sets a trap using Kryptonite, leaving the Man of Steel vulnerable. In the chaos that follows, Supergirl and the Supermen Emergency Squad clash in a high-stakes battle that tests loyalty, identity, and the true meaning of heroism.
When Supergirl remains powerless after Lesla-Lar’s ray, Superman takes her on a journey through time—only to discover her powers mysteriously return in past eras. As they race to uncover the truth behind the time-barrier, the bond between the two heroes is tested across the ages.
In "The Supergirl of Tomorrow!", a powerless Linda Danvers journeys to a dystopian future where she regains her powers and leads a rebellion against the oppressive Clan of Censors. Upon returning to the present, she discovers her abilities have been permanently restored—and even kryptonite no longer harms her. Meanwhile, the true nature of Lesla-Lar’s scheme in Kandor begins to unravel.
In "The Strange Bodies of Supergirl!", Supergirl [Linda Danvers] finds herself transformed by a trio of Red Kryptonite meteors, each twist more bizarre than the last—culminating in a mermaid form that sends her to Atlantis. There, amidst underwater wonders and unexpected romance, Jerro makes a heartfelt proposal, unaware that Lenora Lemaris, Lori's sister, harbors her own secret feelings for him.
