SUPER DC GIANT #S-24 Presents SUPERGIRL...

Copyright DC COMICS

For a drawing, Supergirl is quite a fanciable woman, wouldn't you say?  That's probably why I bought this 1971 Super DC Giant #S-24, so's I could perv at her in that skimpy costume.  (Or maybe I'm kidding.)  This comic mag reprints four tales from Action Comics #s 295 to 298 from 1963 which constitute a complete story from the first to the last.  Modern comics don't do much for me these days, being too dark, too grim, in some cases, too gay (Superman's now got a son who plays for both teams - strewth) and too boring.  There are sometimes exceptions of course, but they're few and far between.  That's probably why I prefer older comics from the '60s, '70s, '80s, and '90s, a time when superhero comics weren't trying to be storyboards for movies and weren't pursuing an agenda to influence society to accept the tastes of a militant minority, bent on reshaping society to their own sometimes dubious notions.

So, let's take a look at what comics looked like back in 1963 and '71, when their only purpose was to entertain the young and young-at-heart, eh?  Oh for these days again - or am I the only person who thinks this way?  Whichever, feel free to leave a comment if you so desire.
