Zatanna & The Haunted Orphanage
I mainly glossed over Zatanna’s back up series in the 1972 Supergirl ongoing but I thought this one shot set in an orphanage was nice.
The story is titled ‘The Curse of the Phantom Heckler’ from Supergirl #3 (1972), and was written by Cary Bates with art by Don Heck and we open with an interesting reveal:
This is the first time we learn that Zee and Supergirl know each other but there is no prior story that establishes their first meeting.
So Zee goes to perform for the orphans and we also learn that the orphanage is run by a couple named the Baths.
But Zee’s performance doesn’t go as planned:
I like that one little fan girl sticking up for Zee.
Then we start to get some answers:
And a quick resolution:
A nice foreboding but hearwarming ending and very effective use of 7 pages to tell a compelete story.
As a whole the back up series wasn’t spectacular but it did establish Shadowcrest mansion as Zee’s residence and introduced Jeff Sloan who would be a recurring love interest even after this back up ended.

A list of Prez stories you should actually read (and expect to enjoy the experience if you're not hugely into Bronze Age comics):-
The Sandman #54
Vertigo Visions: Prez #1
Prez #1-6 (2015) (and the couple of associated short stories)
A list of Prez stories it is historically interesting to read, and which will make you nod your head in appreciation of how well Gaiman distilled it (or you're a Silver/Bronze Age comic fan):-
Prez #1-4 (1973)
Supergirl #10 (1972)
Cancelled Comic Cavalcade #2 "The Devil's Exterminator" (1978)
What you really shouldn't bother with specifically while seeking out Prez: everything else.
#admittedly I have not read the Scooby Doo appearances so I can't judge those#but don't bother with the Christmas story or Frank Miller

The original art by Neal Adams for the wraparound cover for Superman (vol. 1) #252, June 1972.
This issue was a 100-Page Super Spectacular that contained reprint stories of Superman (the original Powerstone story from the Golden Age), as well as Golden Age stories featuring Dr. Fate, Hawkman, Black Condor, the Spectre, Starman, and the Ray.
I guess Adams decided to include more of DC’s flying superheroes to fill-out the cover. It’s lknd of deceptive advertising, as Kid Eternity, Lightly, Black Racer, Shining Knight, the Silver Age Green Lantern, the Golden Age Green Lantern, the Silver Age Hawkman and Hawkgirl, Red Tornado, Supergirl, and the Shining Knight aren’t inside the book. But it’s an awesome Neal Adams cover, so the court will allow it.
That image of Superman is arguably the DC Comics used the most for merchandizing and ads throughout the 1970s and early 1980s; mores than the running Superman image I posted yesterday. DC used the image on the covers of Superman, right over the logo, for a brief time.
It’s also been copied a million times. There were plenty of ads where the image was used, with only minor changes to the costume. Heck, it was even used for a newspaper ad for an X-rated spoof film of Superman, right after Superman the Movie was released.

Wipe The Slate Clean
by WhimsyNeptune
“Things are so much different now.”
Lena turned around in her office chair to face her best friend on the balcony. She frowned when she caught the despondent look on Kara’s face. “I can see that you don’t mean that in a good way.”
Or...
What I envision the fallout of the finale could have been, and how Lena would do anything to fix it for Kara.

Welcome
Hello! Welcome to my blog, The Supergirl Archives! My name is SK and this is side project born out of my love for Supergirl.
So, what are the Supergirl Archives? This is going to be my incomplete journey through the history of Supergirl comics. I’ve long loved the character, and since I have a DC Universe Infinite (DCUI) account, I thought it would be fun to go back and read through a bunch of old Supergirl comics. And I thought it might be fun to chronicle what I read.
This is what I’m planning to read:

THE ADVENTURES OF PRIME EARTH KARA ZOR-EL(incomplete)
Supergirl (vol 6). The New 52 run that ran for 40 issues from 2011-2015.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (vol 1). The newest mini-series that ran for 8 issues in 2021-2022.
Why “an incomplete journey”? Well, I don’t know if I’m going to read every issue listed, but I’m going to read as many as I can (while still enjoying it), and I’m going to make sure that at the very worst, I’ll sample from each run. Also, I just can’t read everything because DCUI has a lot of gaps in its Action Comics library and there’s probably other issues of Adventure Comics and Action Comics that feature Supergirl, but what I listed are the major runs available to me.
As of right now, I’m going to focus on the Supergirl stories that happened in the main DCU continuity, which means unfortunately right now AU comics like Gotham City Garage, Bombshells, and the Dark Knights of Steel aren’t on my list, even if they are fantastic.
I’m specifically a fan of Kara Zor-El, but I wanted to read the Matrix and Linda Danvers runs, especially because they’re actually the versions of Supergirl that were around when I first got into her.
IF you’re a hardcore Supergirl fan, you know what happened to Kara in 1985. I haven’t decided if I want to read Crisis on Infinite Earths for this, but a part of me does feel like it’s an important enough part of Supergirl’s comic history to justify it.
I’m looking forward to having fun with this! And to read a bunch of comics (admittedly of varying degrees of quality) about one of my favorite superheroes!
- Hope, Help, and Compassion for all

Hey so, I’ve always wondered about Shadowcrest. It’s referred to as the ancestral home of the Zatara family, but it’s always in Gotham. Did her family immigrate from Italy way earlier past her Great grandparents? Or did it teleport via magic by following Zatanna and her father? I’ve always been curious about that.
Shadowcrest was introduced in Zatanna's backup series Supergirl #1 (1972).
The Zataras having a residence in Gotham wouldn't be established until Justice League of America #161 but that residence was described as 'newly purchased' so it's not Shadowcrest.
But Shadowcrest is a magical mansion so I wouldn't expect it to stay in the same place. It's origins have never been explored but it would be a cool story to explore.

Earth Station DCU Classic Episode 9 - Batman vs. Ra's al Ghul, and Supergirl Too
New Post has been published on https://esonetwork.com/earth-station-dcu-classic-episode-9-batman-vs-ras-al-ghul-and-supergirl-too/
Earth Station DCU Classic Episode 9 - Batman vs. Ra's al Ghul, and Supergirl Too
Available Exclusively To Patrons of The ESO Network. In 1971, Denny O’Neil introduced a couple of game-changing characters in the pages of Batman: criminal mastermind Ra’s al Ghul and his Bat-obsessed daughter Talia. Their story reached its climax the following year in Batman 243 and 244, so Drew is discussing those classic issues. It’s a globetrotting adventure as Batman chases Ra’s al Ghul across mountains and deserts, oddly assisted by champion skier Molly Post along the way. It’s also our introduction to the secret of Ra’s al Ghul’s immortality, the Lazarus Pit. And of course, it’s all expertly drawn by Neal Adams. Ra’s and Talia have loomed large in the DCU ever since, leading us on a quick tangent to discuss the Super Sons. Then it’s on to Kevin’s pick for 1972: Supergirl #1. After fourteen years in titles like Action and Adventure, Superman’s cousin finally had her own official comic book, in which she goes back to college and stumbles upon a murder mystery. There’s also a silly Zatanna backup story and a whole page of reader-submitted Supergirl costume designs. And Kevin and Drew attempt to solve a mystery that DC has ignored for half a century: the truth about Supergirl’s psychic-powered and weirdly-named roommate, Wanda Five. Check It Out
