She would be a fun one to resurrect, I have to admit. There are so many wacky characters from the silver age that could be brought to life again.

Thanks for the lesson -- and don't apologize for editorializing!<BR/><BR/>Coincidentally (sorta), there's an article in today's San Francisco Chronicle about <A HREF="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/02/22/DD0RV4KQH.DTL" REL="nofollow">gay comics</A> (strips, books, graphic novels). <BR/><BR/>If the link doesn't work, the URL is http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/02/22/DD0RV4KQH.DTLF.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09720867256373500667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6718500790274294635.post-35535724793952129222008-02-22T17:49:00.000-08:002008-02-22T17:49:00.000-08:00Yes, Supergirl stories were written for little gir...Yes, Supergirl stories were written for little girls and it's no surprise that she was one of my favorite characters when I was young. I would have adored this story had I owned it then. And in those days, little girls like me were already a comic-buying demographic. <BR/><BR/>It's modern comics that are marketed almost exclusively to males. Although there are occasional attempts to get females back, it's difficult because sexism and exploitation of the female form is rampant in comics. Giant, gravity-defying breasts and vapid facial expressions can be off-putting. Not that all comics do that, of course. When I came back to comics I read tons of modern titles and eventually I just couldn't take it anymore. However, I never lost my love for the oldies.<BR/><BR/>Enough editorializing. I'm primarily speaking from my own experience and others may not agree.Joanna Sandsmarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08185283030930904414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6718500790274294635.post-87269073840877093112008-02-22T17:35:00.000-08:002008-02-22T17:35:00.000-08:00Wow.

It made my head hurt, but I loved it.<BR/><BR/>At the risk of sounding like an ageist, sexist male, this storyline really seems tailored toward the preadolescent girl who would be more interested in Superman's romantic life than in whose ass he kicked, and how hard. (That would be the stereotypical preadolescent male concern.) Were the DC folks trying to expand their demographic (as, unfortunately, we sometimes say in the marketing business)?<BR/><BR/>P.S. I knew that Luma Lynai wouldn't work out, because her flying posture (your previous entry) looked like a swandive and all of the buildings on her otherwise lifeless planet looked like saltshakers.F.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09720867256373500667noreply@blogger.com
